6. Views from HICEP... «in the irrigation scheme all the production has to be for commercialisation, not for subsistence» «the water fee should increase up to 125 US$ in order to balance all the expenses. This will happen when rehabilitation is finished» «if you live in a luxury house you have to deserve it and to take good care of it» «everyone should produce rice! But small farmers would rather grow vegetables. And if they grow rice, they would sell it to Palmeiras rather than do contract farming for MIA» «small farmers are not efficient, they mainly use irrigated plots for subsistence production. It’s a waste of water. Water users must be efficient producers.»
