en.Wedoany.com Reported - Peru's Ministry of Agricultural Development and Irrigation delivered over 17 tons of fertilizer to 315 registered agricultural producers in the Huamalí District, Jauja Province, Junín Region, aiming to strengthen the foundation of family farming and enhance field productivity. The total donation of ammonium nitrate fertilizer arriving this time amounts to 33.3 tons, with the first round of distribution carried out jointly by the Regional Agricultural Directorate and the district government.

This intervention will focus on securing the growing conditions for the local economic pillar crops—potatoes, corn, and maize—which is expected to increase per-acre yields and create more diverse income channels for farming families.

Minister of Agricultural Development and Irrigation, Felipe César Meza Millán, pointed out: "These fertilizers will reach those who need them most, helping to increase crop yields. Furthermore, we will provide technical guidance and support to promote the rational and efficient use of this input." He emphasized that this action will significantly enhance agricultural productivity and improve working conditions for smallholder farmers.

This distribution effort highlights the synergy between the government and local authorities, focusing on four key areas: strategic crop promotion, yield improvement, technical guidance and production support, and the revitalization of family farming. According to reports, the administrative process for the fertilizer donation was handled by the National Superintendency for the Control of Security Services, Weapons, Ammunition and Explosives for Civilian Use (SUCAMEC) in Arequipa, which formally transferred this input to the agricultural sector through Director's Resolutions No. 00637, 00638, 00639, and 00640-2026-SUCAMEC/DEPP.

The next round of fertilizer distribution will cover agricultural producers in the San Lorenzo District, continuing the policy commitment in the Junín Region to support family farming and achieve sustainable agricultural development.
