Agriculture refutes Farmers' Syndicate on tomato borer rate
The Ministry of Agriculture denied the validity of the claims made by the Farmers' Syndicate president regarding 70% of the tomato crop being affected by the "Tomato Moth" (Tuta absoluta), confirming that this percentage is exaggerated and not supported by reliable scientific or field statistics. It explained that the levels of infestation in the fields are within the normal economic thresholds and that they are being immediately managed without affecting the supply volume or food safety. Additionally, the ministry has launched a national campaign to combat the pest, which includes technical support and awareness efforts, especially with the start of the winter planting season in October. The ministry urged citizens not to pay attention to unofficial news that causes concern, emphasizing the importance of obtaining information from trusted sources.
