The representative agricultural organizations in the province of Salamanca -ASAJA and the UPA-COAG Alliance- insist that it is necessary to achieve a greater flexibility of the Common Agricultural Policy -CAP- for this 2023-2024 campaign.
In mid-December they signed a joint document with the intention that the Junta de Castilla y León would elevate it to the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, and thus avoid, they noted, “the disappearance of numerous farms” with the current CAP.
“We need certainties in the sector,” claims Juan Luis Delgado, president of ASAJA Salamanca, and his agricultural organization defends correcting demands such as planting “bad lands,” leaving margins in the channels, at the same time requiring the recovery of the help of the sunflower.
Correct mandatory corn rotation, which in Salamanca will affect at least 7,500 hectares, is one of the great demands of agricultural organizations. “It is something as easy as modifying the dates of the main crop,” said Carlos Sánchez, general secretary of UPA Salamanca. “It is nothing more than an interpretation of the Ministry,” he indicated. José Manuel Cortés, coordinator of COAG Salamanca, asked for this “coherence and sanity” to achieve “those good flexibilities of the CAP.” He pointed out that the latest CAP changes, published on December 28, “are for hobbyists: for professionals nothing has been done.”
“We must ask for health for the countryside, in crops and in animals,” said Juan Luis Delgado, president of ASAJA Salamanca, who considers a vaccine essential for epizootic hemorrhagic disease or relaxation of regulations on bovine tuberculosis. He also warned that current insurance does not cover epizootic hemorrhagic disease.
Regarding irrigation, the three organizations They insist on increasing the Santa Teresa reservoir to increase the irrigable surface In Salamanca. “But it looks bad from what we see of the Ministry of Agriculture’s intentions,” said Juan Luis Delgado. The three organizations consider that it is essential to promote generational change and regret that there is “excessive bureaucracy” and ask for greater speed when approving modernization or incorporation files. Carlos Sánchez denounced that “for example, the agro-environmental measures that were requested last year have not yet been approved.”
