The Plenary discussed a joint motion requesting measures to the central and regional administrations on the field situation in Totana (27/01/2016)

The Full Council of Totana debate next Thursday at the regular meeting for the month of January, a joint motion of all four municipal groups in which a series of measures at the central and regional administrations which alleviates the plight of the requested totanero field as a result of damage caused by weather effects.

As described in the proposal, the warm temperatures of the last quarter and the development of markets for the major vegetables (broccoli, lettuce and artichokes) and fruit (grapes), has put the agricultural sector Valley Guadalentín, and especially Totana and other neighboring towns, the brink of economic collapse.

The joint proposal strikes a similar situation in which agricultural products fail to be collected or the few that are collected are sold at ruinous prices and into frozen or the alcohol (in the case of grapes) can not remember if not for animal feed.
