This Friday morning, Mayor Francisco Azcué signed an agreement with the Association of Citrus Growers of Concordia, through which said institution and the Municipality of Concordia agreed to continue working together to prevent the establishment of HLB in the area, a disease that affects production and consequently can cause damage to one of the main productive sectors of the department.
After the signing, the Secretary of Productive Development Federico Schattenhofer stated that “taking into account the work that the Association of Citrus Growers has been developing in the city, together with the mayor we have decided to double down and renew this agreement. It updates the control and monitoring of HLB in Concordia”.
On the other hand, the president of the Association of Citrus Growers of Concordia Walter Silva thanked the municipal government for its willingness to continue with this program “which allows us to monitor and maintain the HLB-free status in the Concordia department. This will allow us to maintain production and, even, improve it; as well as to think about new investments by producers in our area”, he highlighted.
Finally, he highlighted that with said achievement and the effort of the Municipality, added to the support of the Province of Entre Ríos and the Chamber of Deputies, it will be possible to continue working on the monitoring of said disease, which guarantees the production conditions of citrus producers.
