Of the total referred to in that period, 85 per cent of the value collected for this tax is managed to be executed by the Contramaestre, to promote local development projects from the autonomy of the municipal government for decision making with financial support towards actions that solve certain problems and needs of the population.
As part of the project at the local level, more than four million pesos have been allocated to promote the Granos-Fríjol project, from which eight communities will benefit to achieve food sovereignty in this area; that in recent years it has been affected by rising prices on the external market, affecting supplies required for the family general basics.
