DescriptionIssued operational guidelines for the Production for Well-being Programme (Programa producción para el bienestar), which aims to boost local production of cereals and beans and reduce reliance on imports. The scheme will provide direct outlays to small- and medium-scale producers of beans and cereals, including rice, previously eligible for assistance under the Proagro Productivo and PIMAF programmes. Payments under the programme were set at MXN 1 600 (USD 85) per ha for small-scale farmers cultivating up to 5 ha under rainfed conditions, or up to 0.2 ha under irrigation, and at MXN 1 000 (USD 53) per ha for medium-scale farmers cultivating between 5 and 20 ha under rainfed conditions, or 0.2 to 5 ha under irrigation.
