Caconda – A total of 1,140 rural families, integrated into 138 Field Schools in the municipality of Caconda, southern province of Huíla, received technical agricultural training this year, within the framework of incentives for family farming.

These are actions that were developed by the SAMAP project, which trained farmers in good agricultural practices, to make the fields more profitable.

Still in this context, according to the Caconda municipal administrator, Castilho Cacumba, the construction of a residence for technicians in the Cusse commune, the rehab of the Agrarian Development Station (EDA) office at the municipal headquarters is underway, all to better explore the local agricultural potential.

The manager, who spoke at the opening of the agricultural season in the village of Bissapa, highlighted that, to improve local agriculture, the Commercial Agriculture Development Project (PDAC) has already financed, in the last 2 years, 4 young farmers and 2 businesspeople in the sector in the municipality, and FADA delivered motorcycles cultivators and a tractor to two cooperatives.

“Therefore, our commitment is to continue to invest in family farming and guarantee food security, as according to the FAO, food security only occurs when all people have permanent physical, social and economic access to safe, nutritious and healthy food and in enough quantity”, the administrator stresseed.

The municipality of Caconda is one of the largest agricultural producers in Huíla and is part of the so-called “corn triangle”, with a population of more than 227,362 inhabitants, the majority of whom live in rural areas.
