Description
The program seeks to increase production and productivity in the livestock sector, taking into account the diversity of ecoregions and improving production processes for the domestic market and beef exports. The Ministry of Rural Development and Lands (MDRyT) is the responsible entity, but the program is executed by three implementing units, depending on the component: the Decentralized Public Institution for Food Sovereignty (IPDSA) (direct transfers), the National Agricultural Health and Food Safety Service (SENASAG) (animal health), and the National Institute of Agricultural and Forestry Innovation (INIAF) (training and technology transfer). It is implemented in three major regions: the Altiplano and Valleys (animal fattening) and the tropics (animal restocking).
The Program was created by Supreme Decree No. 4560 with a five-year budget of Bs. 443,625,928 (four hundred forty-three million six hundred twenty-five thousand, nine hundred twenty-eight 00/100 Bolivianos).
