Agribusiness has become an attractive sector for Salvadoran investors residing abroad. Such is the case of Francisco González, who is building a new farm with capacity for 25,000 laying hens.
El Salvador has advanced in the field of agribusiness, offering a favorable environment for the growth of investments and the revitalization of the Salvadoran economy.
Likewise, foreign and Salvadoran investors abroad (SALEX) have found in the agricultural sector a fertile niche to entrust their capital, thanks to legal and social security, political stability, and the business climate.
Francisco González is one of the Salvadorans attracted by the conditions that the country now offers. The businessman, who lives in South Gate, Los Angeles, United States, left his country 44 years ago, and is now developing the construction project of four sheds (roofed structures for chickens) with an investment of more than $500,000.
According to González, these structures will function as a farm for some 25,000 egg-laying hens, creating 15 new jobs and subsequently another 20 that will benefit the residents of the Colombia farm, located in Joya Grande, in Santiago Texacuangos. It is estimated that the farm will begin operations in early April.
The investor stated that El Salvador is going through a radical change in security, and that has motivated him to invest and generate sources of employment for several families in his place of origin. “I thank President Nayib Bukele for the actions he has taken to dismantle the actions of the gangs, I thank him for what he is doing for the Salvadoran people,” he said.
Salvadorans, like many others who reside abroad, have found support and technical advice to invest in the Investment and Export Promotion Agency of El Salvador (Invest in El Salvador), in charge of supporting the economic development of the nation.
In that sense, Salvador Gómez Góchez, president of Invest, considers that Salvadorans abroad have become one of the key sectors for the growth of the national economy.
The project includes a space for agrotourism so that visitors can appreciate the coffee, mango, lemon, orange, and cocoa plantations, among other crops on the farm.
In the development of this venture, his wife Angélica González, of Mexican origin, also highlighted that she admires the new reality that the country is experiencing and the security stability that has been achieved.
