Since the delivery of 20 vans in October 2022, the flow of agricultural products from the six municipalities of the Angolan province of Zaire, has seen significant improvements. The economic operators of rural trade in the region have responded to requests, especially from cooperatives interested in selling large quantities of agricultural products, namely cassava, ginguba, oranges and bananas in the markets of the city of Luanda.
André Dilumengene Mavuide, is president of the Dimagres agricultural cooperative, with an area of 150 hectares located in the village of Nsiesie. The entity mainly grows cassava, peanuts and soybeans and expects to use the means provided by the government, to transport the production to Luanda, next June.
“We still haven’t had the opportunity to use the trucks from the Integrated Program for the Development of Rural Commerce distributed in the province last October. I’m waiting for the harvest period in June, the month foreseen for the harvest and sale of cassava. But I already have the contacts and all I have to do is ask, I’m sure I’ll be able to sell my products. On the other hand, so far I haven’t heard any complaints from colleagues, which means, they’re operating smoothly,” he stressed.
