National Programme for Food Production in the Cooperative and Family
Sector
The overall goal of this
programme was to help rural areas realize some of their agricultural
production potential, meet food requirements and generate surplus
that could be sold. It had the aims of increasing productivity in
the cooperative and family sector, improving the health of the livestock
population and increasing the fish catch of poor fishing communities.
Programme activities centred on delivering cost-effective and innovative
techniques to boost crop, livestock and fisheries production and create
labour opportunities. Specific activities included:
- distributing basic agricultural equipment and materials such as
tools, implements, seeds, livestock vaccines and drugs and fishery
supplies nationwide
- providing technical assistance to ensure that equipment and materials
were properly implemented
- providing training facilities to train the agricultural technicians
and cooperative members needed to assist the growing cooperative
sector
