Mendoza provincial anti-hail aircraft transition

Overview

The Government of Mendoza is transitioning its crop protection model by planning to sell or transfer provincial anti-hail aircraft to municipalities or producer chambers. Minister of Government Natalio Mema indicated that the aircraft are undergoing appraisal, with a public tender expected to facilitate the process. The goal is to direct resources more closely to agricultural producers and strengthen agricultural insurance mechanisms.

Following discussions between Mendoza Governor Alfredo Cornejo and provincial ministers, a formal proposal has emerged for the municipalities of General Alvear and San Rafael to each acquire an aircraft for hail mitigation. Under this arrangement, the province intends to provide radar systems, authorized powder magazines, and assistance with pyrotechnic acquisition. In General Alvear, local officials are working with producers to establish financing schemes to ensure the continuity of these mitigation efforts for future seasons.
