Policy InstrumentProduction support

DescriptionAnnounced that it would support 560 000 subsistence farmers by providing them with USD 75 vouchers to purchase agricultural inputs as of 13 May 2024, under the Bono Agrícola. Unlike previous input support programmes, namely the Programa de Entrega de Paquetes Agrícolas that was implemented between 2018 and 2023, the Bono Agrícola would also promote crop diversification by extending the input support to all agricultural producers, not just to maize and bean farmers.
