For the hierarch, the national poultry sector “has the conditions to be competitive and generate quality products” for foreign markets, at the same time that this would not affect the increasing proportion of poultry meat in the protein diet of animal origin of the uruguayans.
The minister maintains that “perhaps there is no other industry as important in the generation of labor as poultry farming”, a sector that he highlighted as “great social impact”, where although San Bautista is the center of development, other regions of the country can continue to improve hand in hand with biology for the conversion of food —meat and eggs— into high-quality protein.
From today, poultry producers can access a subsidized commission in the SiGa

In addition, Mattos declared that “the government is not going to let go of the sector’s hand”, and recalled all the measures that have been taken in recent times due to inclement weather. However, he maintained that the consequences of the drought “can still worsen week by week” and he must find the politicians and producers “in unity.”
