Small banana producers receive certification of regularization of their properties
Last September the reform to the regulation of the Law to Stimulate and Control the Production and Marketing of Bananas was issued, through which the regularization of producers is allowed and in December, through Ministerial Agreement 156, the payment of the fine for small producers of up to 5 hectares.
“With the formalization we will have union associations capable of reaching a direct market and facilities to achieve price stability,” said Minister Xavier Lazo.
Gladys Fuentes Alegría, producer of the Lorenzo de Garaicoa parish, indicated that with the certification she will be able to do her formalities as a formal producer and will allow her to market the fruit at a fair price. She, along with 13 other producers, received her code to enter the MAG’s Banana Control System.
