The Guatemala Ministry of Agriculture,
Livestock and Food (MAGA) has recieved the
lowest budget allocations of all sectors.
The Finance Ministry, via its web page
Fiscal Transparence, says the MAGA received
only 8.49 percent of the budget promised for
this year.
The MAGA 2009 Fiscal budget is $103 million
of the $6.1 billion national budget, the
second consecutive year in which the MAGA
gets the lowest slice, followed by
Communications (14.13 per cent), Education
(14.97) and Economics (22.31).
Siglo Veintiuno daily said Friday quoting
analyst Zully Morales that regular change of
authorities has also weakened the MAGA
execution powers.
Since President Alvaro Colom appointed a
minister on January 14, 2008 there have been
another two MAGA ministers.
