Caxito - The second edition of the agricultural produce fair in the Municipality of Dande, in Bengo Province, generated in two days a business gain of more than 16 million kwanzas ($24k equivalente).
On the first day of the fair, the turnover amounted to 10.881.850 kwanzas (US $16.6k equivalente), while on the second day it was 5.500.000 kwanzas (US $8.4k equivalent).
The sector’s players - who directly participate in the production, distribution and marketing chain of agricultural products - have made available more than 560 tonnes of various agricultural products.
In closing, the deputy municipal administrator of Dande, Mateus Velho João, said that the fair exceeded the organization's expectations and had a great impact on the participants.
The official hopes that this type of exhibition will be the springboard to minimize the problem of the lack of flow of products from the countryside to other places.
In a message, Unaca (CONFEDERATION OF PEASANTS ASSOCIATIONS AND AGRICULTURAL COOPERATIVES OF ANGOLA), in Bengo, reaffirmed its commitment to engaging in production, responding to the problem of hunger and poverty, providing necessary food security for the population.
Unaca has asked the Dande Municipal Administration to grant a space in the Panguila market so that organized peasants can regularly sell their products there.
Held at the Panguila market under the motto “Feiragro-Dande, producing and selling”, the event brought together 61 exhibitors, including agricultural and fishing cooperatives and individual companies, which intervene in the agribusiness chain.
