The AGAMA Bajo Guadalquivir association, an organization integrated into the Union of Unions of Farmers and Ranchers, values very positively the determined commitment by the Department of Agriculture of the Junta de Andalucía to public and official support for the agro-industrial sector, through the maintenance of Agri-environmental aid for Agro-industrial Crops, for the next five years of the new PAC 2023-2027 framework. AGAMA considers that currently, the situation of rising prices of fuels, energy, fertilizers, seeds and other agricultural inputs remains around 30-50% higher than in the year of setting prices of the previous framework of this type of aid, so it is totally inappropriate to discriminate against such a situation and maintain aid amounts similar to those of 2015. The organization alludes to the words of the Minister of Agriculture herself, Carmen Crespo, in different forums, when she asserts that "it is time for the administrations to be next to farmers and ranchers to alleviate the perfect storm" that it has caused in the countryside the rise in production costs, the war between Russia and Ukraine and the persistent drought that we are maintaining in the Andalusian countryside, and in this sense, AGAMA urges the rise in the unit amounts of aid for agro-industrial crops in a 20%, aid that, on the other hand, is of a compensatory nature and compensation of costs for carrying out certain practices that are beneficial to the environment and that have repercussions on the entire environment in general. These agri-environmental aids have an impact on agro-industrial crops such as sugar beet and cotton, both with a strong presence throughout the agricultural area of both the Bajo Guadalquivir and La Vega and neighboring regions of Seville and Cádiz.

AGAMA considera que en la actualidad, la situación de alza de precios de combustibles, energía, fertilizantes, semillas y demás insumos agrícolas se mantiene en torno a un 30-50% al alza con respecto al año de fijado de precios del anterior marco de este tipo de ayudas, por lo que se ve totalmente improcedente discriminar tal situación y mantener unos importes de ayuda similares a los del año 2015. La organización alude a palabras de la propia consejera de Agricultura, Carmen Crespo, en diferentes foros, cuando asevera que “es el momento de que las ...
