This agreement for the Promotion of Abilities to Encourage the Agricultural Development together with Central America and the Caribbean region is another sample of the interest shown by Mexico to support the countries in the region for the improvement of their institutional frameworks that help to increase food production, as well as better commercialisation strategies.
This strategy has been fruitful and has yielded benefits in its first stage through the identification of agricultural productivity replicable schemes and with one-time actions for the strengthening of abilities in the fields of protected agriculture, rural tourism, household and backyard agriculture, soil and water protection, and phytopathology.
