The standard also stipulates as a complementary measure that direct marketing is understood to be the sale made between the Special Project for the Promotion of the Use of Fertilizers from Seabirds, absorbed through Supreme Decree 014-2008-AG by the Rural Agricultural Productive Development Program, and the family farmer.
In 30 days, the Agro Rural program, attached to the Ministry of Agrarian Development and Irrigation (Midagri), will adapt internal regulations.
