Governor of Lunda Norte says the province needs to wake up to agriculture

The province of Lunda Norte needs to wake up to agriculture, livestock and prepare for a future less dependent on diamonds, said Filomena Miza, provincial governor, this Wednesday, in a ceremony that aimed to hand over agricultural resources, included in the financing of light mechanization of family farming in operation by the Agrarian Development Support Fund (FADA), to 24 farmers, micro and small companies, in addition to cooperatives.

On the occasion, cited by Angop, the governor of Lunda Norte considered that, at a time when it is essential to diversify the country's economy, investment in agriculture and livestock is among the government's priorities, which through various financing initiatives, has encouraged production in the country.

According to the minister, the progress of agriculture in the province presupposes continuous adjustments to new techniques and technologies, in order to achieve levels of production that guarantee food self-sufficiency, as well as fight against poverty and the migration of people from rural areas to areas urban.

The governor also left guidelines for municipal administrations to not only encourage the training of cooperatives in the agricultural sector, but also simplify the granting of land and titles, thus enabling access to financing from FADA and other financial entities, writes Angop.

Addressing those who benefited from the means, she asked them to take care of the equipment and to comply with their obligations, especially reimbursements, in order to enable more farmers to have access to financing.

Still on Wednesday, Filomena Miza spoke about fuel smuggling. Cited by Angop, the provincial governor requested that defense and security bodies intensify surveillance on the Tchicolondo border – between the country and the neighboring Democratic Republic of Congo – in order to efficiently combat this illegal practice.
