Omar Spiegel
Omar Spiegel is a spokesperson for rice producers in Panama, who has been vocal about the impact of government importation policies on the local rice market. He argues that the recent decisions made by the Instituto de Mercadeo Agropecuario (IMA) to import rice during the domestic harvest have depressed prices for local producers, leading to financial losses and jeopardizing the livelihoods of farmers. Spiegel emphasizes the need for better planning in importation practices and advocates for the protection of local production to ensure a sustainable agricultural economy.
