The full City approved a motion that will apply for the feasibility study for the establishment of an agricultural cooperative and the possibility that it is local.
The main reason for the proposal is to mitigate as far as possible, existing labor problems in this sector today.
This motion is an alternative to the proposal of the Socialist Group which referred to the creation of an agricultural cooperative in the village.
The People's Party seemed the intent was positive, but the Councillor for Agriculture, Francisco Perez, claimed that "they had to take account of several factors, including the existence in the town of other unions in the same sector. The City can not propose the creation of a municipal cooperative because it would be an unfair competition to existing, ie, it would be better to help them. "also said.
He indicated that "there are motions require help farmers to regional, national and European (PAC) level. For the creation of any cooperative, is the sector that out, there are tools already created. Specifically, we have in this county with the District Agricultural Office (OCA) which deals with information and create any kind of association, cooperative, etc.., and to facilitate the procedures that are needed. One of the points that have not vbisto feasible this proposal is that be necessary to be a farmer cooperative and have plantation property.
