The Murcia Asaja agricultural professional organization rated "insufficient" and "late" Citrícola restructuring Plan announced by the Government. The Secretary General of Asaja Murcia, Alfonso Gálvez Caravaca, explains: "From our organization believe that this plan too late and is clearly fragile, as is should be endowed with a larger budget." "It's a plan very little ambitious and is very poor, since it is intended to subsidize 18,000 hectares within a period of five years when the minimum needs of the sector are drawn in the 22,000 hectares."
The Council of Ministers recently approved a Royal Decree for the award of grants to holders of citrus farms. This plan is aimed at the restructuring of holdings of oranges, satsumas, clementines, mandarins hybrid, common mandarins, lemons and Grapefruits, during the period 2008-2013.
