Tropical Storm Alma produced millions of dollars in damages to the agricultural sector, impacting over 24 thousand producers.  In Leon and Chinandega, campesinos lost their first planting to heavy rains and winds which reached 100 kilometers per hour in some areas.  This crop loss is disastrous for small farmers who have not harvested since last year and must now repay bank loans used plant.  Crop loss was heaviest in Leon, Malpaisillo and Achuapa.  In response to a request from the Institute Juan XXIII, the Quest for Peace is working on the possibility of shipping vegetable seeds so that families can reinforce food production from patio gardens.
