Yes, as you read it, people don’t want Canadian “trees”. “If you’re Canadian, no thanks.” “Over there they plant pine trees to sell them and here they destroy the greenery and waste water.” “Let him plant it in the mine, it’s needed there,” are some of the comments on El Siglo’s Instagram account.
“Let them take them directly to the legislative building.” “If they are damaged, I prefer to buy artificial ones this year.” “I’m not going to spend a dime on this little tree, I think this year will be the cheapest year they have this little tree,” say other opinions.
Yesterday it became known that the first three containers out of a total of 40, which will transport Christmas trees, had arrived from Canada.
Luis Benavides, executive deputy director of agricultural quarantine, of the Ministry of Agricultural Development (MIDA), indicated that the average annual importation of the famous “small trees” is 90 to 100 containers, each bringing between 500 and 600 trees, in depending on the size. We therefore still expect to receive more notifications from companies in early December.
