The Mexican government extends free fertilizer programe to nine states this year

This year, the Fertilizers for Wellbeing programme will cover nine states in the country, including the three states with the highest degree of marginalization for maize production (Chiapas, Oaxaca and Morelos), while in Puebla and Tlaxcala, support will be given to maize and vegetable crops, due to the importance of these foodstuffs for regional markets. In addition, attention will be given to the most important bean-producing states (Durango, Nayarit and Zacatecas) in order to support small-scale producers, while in Guerrero the delivery of inputs for the production of maize, beans and rice will continue, the latter in particular in the Cañada area.
