Eduardo Zegarra in RPP Noticias: “The most serious issue is that a subsidy is being managed without a complete registry”

“The register is incomplete. Midagri states that only 35% of the country’s farmers are registered. We have a serious issue, because it is a mechanism that is supposed to reach all farmers. In addition, the Comptroller’s Office has reviewed the first version and has found inconsistencies: underage people, farmers who do not belong to it, etc. The most serious issue is not so much these inconsistencies, which can obviously occur, but how a subsidy is being handled in such an irresponsible way without having a complete registry to do so”.

Our senior researcher Eduardo Zegarra gave his opinion on the elaboration of the first roll of farmers beneficiaries of the Fertiabono by the Ministry of Agrarian Development and Irrigation (Midagri). Interview via Radio Programas del Perú.
