Filipe Jacinto Nyusi, President of the Republic of Mozambique, launched a new project to reduce poverty and increase production and incomes through aquaculture for more than 88,000 rural small-scale fish farmers. The launch took place in Chitima, Tete Province.
Supported by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), the PRODAPE project will play a crucial role in the socio-economic development of the country and improve nutrition and food security.
“The promotion of aquaculture dominated by the family sector fits perfectly into the Government’s strategic vision, as the process favors the insertion of rural families in the economy, and in the entire value chain for job creation and income,” said Nyusi. “We like to start with controllable acts, but to grow, not start big and go down”.
