ENTA CAMPAIGN PRODUCTION IS CENTERED IN THE INTERNAL MARKET.

The current economic situation and debts from previous campaigns have been placed in such agricultural cooperative crossroads Valley Tasarte, COPARLITA, They shuffled his associates as the only solution to their situation, sale of facilities.

Director COPARLITA, Justo Ramirez, he told Agroaldea that the situation has become been suffering more than unsustainable. Debts continue to grow and illiquid not give to meet them.

Last season was the last one that ferried tomato export. In the current harvest they decided to abandon this crop in order to avoid more debt and focus on fruits and vegetables for internal market. Currently the main crops are those of papayas, watermelons, mangoes and avocados.

Ramirez said that in the 23 COPARLITA life years have passed 37 partners to 9 remaining today. In difficult times anyone who may abandon, Just regrets, but those who stayed are making a great effort to try to maintain production and employment. Few alternatives are, Ramirez says.

COPARLITA director said that the situation of Tasarte, included in the Rural Park of Nublo, It does not allow many opportunities for development and is aware that the infrastructure has COPARLITA, I could not have another use other than the agricultural.

But in this sense, back again at the same point. If there is no liquidity or incentives for the sector attractive for young people, there is no solution, Ramirez said.

Just he recognized that one of the mistakes that have been committed was to have gone each for free. The municipality of La Aldea had to have all production concentrated in one cooperative. In this way we could cope with the difficulties.

In May 2008 We were about to integrate into COAGRISAN, but, At last, the idea did not work. And the current situation has already taken ahead to COALDEA and COPAISAN. Which gives us an idea that there will be a big change, cessation of tomato export is getting closer if things do not change much, Ramirez explained.

COPARLITA debt accumulated by the bad campaigns amounts to 1,3meuros more 350.000 euros owed to suppliers. Ramirez said that a possibility to settle the debt is selling the facilities to be possible to some administration and the City, since this heritage should be in the city.

It is currently only using a small part of the ship where the fruit packaging recepciona, It is palletized and added control traceability. Hence part where markets Mercocanarias.
