As a region known as Free Fruit Fly Area and, in turn, a large part of its territory it is also internationally recognized as FMD-free without vaccination Area, it is forbidden the entry of products of plant or animal origin.

In this way, it can be maintained the protected region and the local agricultural production (fruits, vegetables, sheep and cattle) can be marketed in international markets with significant competitive advantages, thus generating more jobs and income.
