Egg |
Speaking to Angop
on Wednesday in Cachiungo municipality in Huambo province, where the
President of the Republic, João Lourenço, opened the agricultural
campaign, the deputy chairperson of the association, Maria José
Victorino, defended for joint efforts with cereal producers to feed
chickens.
She argued that,
due to lack of animal feed, the country produces only 743.000 eggs per
day, despite having an installed capacity of four million, which forces
it to resort abroad to meet the demand for eggs in the domestic market.
She admitted that
the lack of animal feed results from the low production capacity of
cereals, mainly main, soybeans and sunflower seeds, which are essential
for adequate feeding of chickens.
Maria José
Victorino said that ANAVI is currently in close partnership with
different national producers, essentially to help them to dispose of
their products, taking into account the needs of the poultry sector of
400.000 tons of grain for the production of eggs and chicken meat.
She praised
President João Lourenço in paying special attention to the agriculture
and livestock sector as a way to reduce food imports and, at the same
time, leverage the national economy.
Maria Jose
Victorino pointed out that the organization, with 118 producers, also
intends to produce 20.000 tons of chicken meat each year.
