El Gobierno le habla a la Patria: Gobierno articulará vías, producción y conservación en Orinoquía
Colombians, the government of the homeland Milagro has come to the Orinoquía to bring together at the same table those who sow, those who build the roads, and those who take care of the water and biodiversity. Let's begin. This is a government that decides firmly and acts without fear. During the last few hours, the Minister of Agriculture, Dr. Indalecio Dangón Vaquero, toured the high plains in Meta and Vichada. The minister was not alone; he was accompanied by the Ministry of Transport, Invías, and the Minister of the Environment. They met with unions and producers in Puerto Gaitán, in the agro-industrial heart of the Orinoquía region, and made progress in the territory of Elbichada. They listened firsthand to those who produce the food of this country and confirmed something that Colombia can no longer postpone. The high plains, which were abandoned for decades, are the natural pantry of our country. The roadmap has four fronts and all four are being worked on simultaneously. One, the tracks. Without roads, there is no harvest worth having. The roads department presented the paving contracts underway and prioritized the strategic corridors of the high plains. Food cannot continue to be transported via a 500 km trail. Infrastructure is no longer just talk; it's becoming a key investment for Colombia in terms of production. Two, production. The emphasis is on where the region is already a powerhouse. Corn and soybeans, the supply chains that can replace imports and lower food prices. Work is also being done on access to supplies and rural development so that growth does not remain concentrated in just a few properties. Three, clear rules about the land. Without legal certainty there is no investment. The Ministry of Agriculture is preparing a special regulatory framework for the high plains. titles, property and planning with differential rules for this region. We've been talking about the potential of these sheets for 20 years. This government is going to make a law about it. The initial goal is to enable 400,000 hectares and mobilize more than 8 trillion pesos in productive investment. Four, the atmosphere. The Minister of the Environment, Dr. Fabio Arjona was on the same tour, and he delivered a precise message. The Orinoquía region does not have to choose between conserving and producing. It can be productive, competitive, and regenerative at the same time. The task of the environment is to organize growth, defining where it is produced, where it is conserved and where it is restored according to the vocation of each piece of land. Water, soil, and biodiversity are not an obstacle to the economy; they are its natural infrastructure. That's the government's ABC agenda . Water, biodiversity and communities. Agro-industry, bioeconomy, restoration and conservation in a single model. Conserving and restoring must also be an economic opportunity for those who live in and protect this beautiful territory. In the homeland of Milagro, the environment is the enabler of productivity, investment, and prosperity. And there is a fifth piece of information that is about honesty with the country. Large- scale investments in this region are planned to begin in 2027. This trip helped to expedite the technical and administrative steps. A serious government prepares the ground, aligns ministries, and then executes Colombians. The Orinoquía region is no longer the one the state looked at from afar, but has become Colombia's great bet for food security. Employment, equity, and home-grown food. In this miraculous homeland, there is room for all Colombians, and the highlands and plains are key for this country to stop importing what it can grow. With this roadmap we are definitely getting closer and closer to the homeland of Miracle.
