Deputy Wilmar Castro Soteldo (PSUV/National) reported last Wednesday that the Bill to Reform the Law for the Promotion, Development and Protection of Livestock Activity will benefit more than a thousand farmers in the Bolivar state's countryside.

Castro Soteldo's statement took place from Upata, where he coordinated the public consultation of the law in Bolívar state. He specified that more than 200 producers and nine livestock associations participated, which were distributed in eight working groups that generated different proposals.

The parliamentarian, according to a press release from the parliament, emphasized that the reform of the law will break the chains of intermediation, to benefit and protect the peasant and to put an end to minimum payments on farms, which demerit primary production before its release to the international market.

During the assembly, the fundamental axes of the regulatory project were discussed in a strategic entity that positions itself as the fifth state with the highest livestock production in the country.

The debate day was organized through eight specialized working groups. Large, medium and small producers participated in a direct and inclusive way, as well as community members, peasants and peasants, who presented their contributions to the legal text.

Goodness of the law

Among the benefits contemplated in the law are incentives to facilitate access to finance, the incorporation of reproductive biotechnology for genetic improvement and the simplification of administrative procedures.

These mechanisms are aimed at safeguarding the activity of more than a thousand registered producers in the Piar municipality and adjacent areas.

The legal framework comprehensively protects the value chains of cattle, buffaloes, sheep and goats.

It also promotes strict health and food safety controls in a territory that exceeds 50,000 head of herd, while protecting local production and the nation's livestock heritage.
