On the occasion, the holder of the Industry and Commerce portfolio said that the "objective of the program is to ensure that operators acquire these means, at the subsidized price for the service of selling products from the countryside, and can gain financial muscle with their commercial activity, in order to proceed with the reimbursement so that more means can be acquired", reads the note.
Victor Fernandes also made it known that for the producing provinces, "the crucial purpose is to provide greater national production", in order to achieve food self-sufficiency and diversification of the national economy.
The provincial governor, Lotti Nolika, underlined that the referred means will help to minimize the "difficulties that freight transport operators face in the flow of local production".
The governor also took the opportunity to alert "the operators who benefited from the vehicles to dedicate their activities exclusively to the disposal of products from the field, to strive for their maintenance and to collaborate as much as possible with the objectives of the program so that the results are achieved advocated", adds the statement.
With these more than 20 vehicles, the province "raises to a total of 33 planned", having last year benefited from a dozen 3.5-tonne vans and 80 three-wheel motorized vehicles, all part of the Trade Development Program Rural.
