Cattle are dying in Cocle Province because of lack of water say farmers.

In the Jagüito neighborhood of the town of El Roble, Aguadulce, the deaths of several cattle on ranches have been reported says La Prensa
Claudio García, a rancher in the area, saysthat it has not rained in the area since last November, and water sources are depleted and if the dry season continues the situation will worsen.

 

He called on the government to have the Ministry of Agricultural Development conduct a survey of the situation.
