State delivers 39 vehicles to strengthen technical assistance and rural extension in Pará
Vehicles help in logistics and support public policies aimed at rural farmers. This is the second delivery of vehicles this year by the Government of Pará.
The Government of Pará, through the Technical Assistance and Rural Extension Company (Emater-Pará), delivered 39 vehicles on the afternoon of this Monday (28), Farmer's Day, to ensure support for the regional and local offices of the company in various regions. The event took place at the Palace of Dispatches, with the presence of Governor Helder Barbalho, who emphasized the importance of technical assistance and rural extension (Ater) activities in promoting and encouraging, as well as ensuring investments to bring more public policies to the farmers of the State.
“These vehicles will provide more support in the area of extension, through Emater, which is present in all 144 municipalities of the State. This delivery ensures more support and the necessary structure for Emater to collaborate with support and assistance, so that the production of the State can grow more,” said the governor.
The initiative reinforces the state government's commitment to the services and support provided by rural extension workers to farmers in Pará, expanding the logistical access of technicians to remote regions and bringing access to the public policies that Emater provides, through credit lines, ensuring greater economic development for the sector and improvements in production.
Also participating in the administrative act were the president of the Legislative Assembly, Deputy Francisco Melo (Chicão); the president of Emater, Joniel Abreu; state deputy Josué Paiva, and the mayor of Almeirim, Maria Lucidalva Bezerra de Carvalho (Lúcia do Líder), among other authorities, as well as representatives and extension workers from Emater in each municipality covered.
For Joniel Abreu, these deliveries demonstrate the commitment of the Government of Pará to guarantee support to small farmers, through the public Ater company. “This is the second delivery of vehicles that the government has made this year alone, to strengthen the work of technical assistance and extension, to bring support and access to public policies to farmers throughout Pará,” said the president of the company.
