This Wednesday, a group of extension workers hired to assist farmers in the province denounced the lack of salaries that had been going on for four months. However, yesterday afternoon, the cumulative salary for three months began to reflect, and the payment for this month of August is in the process. Isaac Jamal, provincial delegate of the Fund for Agricultural Development and Rural Extension (FAR), which extensionists from SUSTENTA, told our report that “the problem is specifically due to the fact that the FAR is doubly supervised: by the Ministry of Agriculture and also by the Ministry of Finance and the payment of these extensionists is made via the National Treasury. provincial level was done and safeguarded in time and hours, however, this whole procedure collided with the National Treasury where for several other systematic and functionality reasons it delayed making the payment in time and hours to these extension agents”. although the problem will not occur again, since everything is already regularized. As for the lack of fuel for the motorbikes made available to extension workers to travel to the fields where they assist the producers, Jamal guaranteed that within one to two weeks a public tender will be launched for economic agents from each of the 23 districts of Nampula to supply the fuel for extensionists, as a way of facilitating logistics.SUSTENTA is a Government program, implemented by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, which, among several components, assists farmers through extensionists trained in the agrarian area, with the aim of increasing income in terms of production and productivity.
