The government delegate in Extremadura, José Luis Quintana, visited today the Jerte Valley where he met the mayors of Navaconcejo and Cabezuela del Valle, Cristina Alonso and Marisa Yiste, respectively. The visit served to analyze the situation of the cherry campaign in the north of Extremadura, as well as to assess the situation of projects promoted by the Government of Spain in the area.
During her tour, Quintana has been interested in the current situation of the cherry campaign, a key sector for the local economy, and the needs and challenges facing farmers right now. The government delegate has also highlighted the experience of the original contracts carried out this year by the Jerte Cooperative Group, as an effective solution to face the labor problems both in the field and in the fruit and vegetable facilities. This initiative has made it possible to expand employment opportunities and provide a solution to one of the main needs in the region.
Finally, Quintana visited the Cooperative Society of the Field of Navaconcejo, where she was able to learn about the activities and projects they develop to strengthen the agricultural and cooperative sector of the Valle Del Jerte.
With this visit, the government delegate reaffirms his commitment to the development and promotion of opportunities in the Jerte Valley, highlighting the importance of collaboration between institutions and the production sector to face current and future challenges.
