For his part, the Mexico’s Secretary of Agriculture and Rural Development Víctor Villalobos, described the measures that the Mexican government is carrying out to “fight hunger and extreme poverty head-on” and promote agricultural development.

The plan, which he summarized in five major initiatives, includes programmes to encourage the production of basic crops such as corn, beans or pumpkin; support for coffee and sugarcane production; programs to guarantee incentives and competitive prices for farmers; aid for the use of fertilizers for about 120 000 subsistence producers, as well as programs focused on the development of the southern part of the country.

Quoting the Mexican president Andrés Manuel López Obrador, Villalobos said: “In short, it is about ensuring that those who feed us are the first to eat.”
