The Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Celso Correia, said that 150,000 families in the productive sector saw their income increase during this year by 32%.

"This is one of the factors that highlights the government's effort to ensure food security and economic stability, in the country, in general, and of producers, in particular," said the ruler.

"The government of Mozambique mentioned the forecast of the inflationary crisis, the crisis that we are living, three months ago. The campaign we have designed is important to help solve this problem," he said, quoted by Radio Mozambique.

Correia also advanced that at the beginning of the first quarter of this year, "we registered an increase in exports, mainly in oilseeds. Yesterday we announced that 150,000 Mozambican families that are in the cotton production sector saw their income increase by about 32% with the increase in the price of cotton. Therefore, income of the majority of the population, agricultural producers, is in our priority", he said.

Celso Correia was speaking, this Friday, at the end of a meeting he held with former Tanzanian statesman and board member of the Alliance for Agrarian Revolution in Africa, Jakaya Kikwete.
