Self-sufficient to reduce prices and give some oxygen to a field increasingly suffocated. With this idea in their heads the Union of Agricultural Cooperatives Menorca (UCAM) is preparing a project to install a fuel retail outlet operated by them to the farms that would supply the island associated It UCAM has already contacted a company for an initial cost estimate and evaluate the feasibility of a project at the moment is just that, a project.
"The response to a concern among the farms," says the chairman of UCAM, Francesc Truyol. In fact, the initiative was born when fuel prices rose and never seemed to touch the ceiling. Given this reality, the possibility of a self seemed a good start, but admits that Truyol "is a project that would require a large investment." Therefore, before tying it would get through at least two lines. One explains Truyol, involving the administration, and second, to ensure profitability for both UCAM farms that could supply this hypothetical point of fuel.
Thus, the viability of the initiative depends largely on the potential economic performance, but also "the commitment of the people with this project," added Francesc Truyol. In this regard, the initiative now has in mind UCAM includes not only a fixed supply of fuel, but also a delivery truck to facilitate the arrival of fuel to the farms concerned.
In addition to helping farms, implementation of a project of this size would expand the service to agricultural cooperatives give their partners. Perfectly viable, explains Truyol.
