Quoted by Angop, the provincial director clarified that, because of this, there was a decrease in production: this year it was 139,900 tonnes, as opposed to the 157 thousand tonnes recorded in the similar period last year.
Among the products most collected at this stage are cereals, tubers and vegetables.
As far as livestock farming is concerned, according to Angop, in the first three months 30 thousand tonnes of meat were produced, compared to the 65 thousand tonnes recorded in the previous year.
Namibe has 144 agricultural cooperatives, as well as 77 controlled peasant associations, which involve more than 9500 families in this production process.
