Luengo recalled that during the harvest of 2019, which involved the planting of 473 hectares, the biological struggle through 'sexual confusion' was launched for the first time with the collaboration of the Ministry to combat the plague of the rice borer, which It had been seriously affecting production in recent years.
A practice with which "very satisfactory" results were obtained.
The counselor sustained the regional government's commitment to the sector, both through aid and the one expressed, as well as with those destined to the promotion and control work of the Denomination of Origin, which last year was just over 30,000 euros, and through attendance at fairs of interest for this product.
