The Minister said that at a meeting with representatives of the National Farmers’ Federation, they had said that they did not want the subsidy.
 
“Let us work seriously to develop new varieties, improve the soil and strengthen the condition of the people so that they can lead a better life,” the Minister said, according to a statement from the Ministry.
 
The new government under Horacio Cartes was formed on August 15, 2013.
