Mining Against Agriculture

In the past few weeks, a new debate started in all society, including from political class to the lowest economical class. All of the country is talking about what do we really require, mining development or agriculture? There are plenty of people who think agriculture must be empowered, though even it’s not enough for the country’s development and achieving the goal to reduce poverty in the whole country. But that decision seems to be not so easy for the government, since the last decades, mining has been the most important economic sector(better word for economic sector would be industry) of the nation. It represents the sixty percent of the total exports of the country and generates more than 200 thousands of jobs. As many specialists say, unfortunately, without mines, there will not be progress in the short or long term, and many of the achievements of the government were made with the mining taxes. Also, many hospitals and development programs are also financed by mining companies. So without them, it would be really difficult to fight against poverty.
