The RURALTINS extension agents participated in an exchange program in Western Bahia through the OPORTUNIDADE agreement. On the first day, in the morning in IBOTIRAMA, along with agronomist RENATA from CAR, we visited the Mel Velho Chico beekeepers cooperative in the Middle São Francisco region, led by President Rafael. In the afternoon, we visited PROLEITE in Wanderley and met Dona Chiquinha, a strong and competent woman who is a reference for the entire municipality.
On the second day, in CRISTÓPOLIS, we visited Baiana Bacana, known for its handicrafts and exotic delicacies like charcoal and cinnamon cheese. In the afternoon, in Baianópolis, along with Cleuzino, we visited the ASSOCIATION OF RURAL PRODUCERS OF POVOADO QUEIMADO and discovered productive backyards with mandalas, even including strawberry crops.
On the third day, in SÃO DESIDÉRIO, we visited the fish agroindustry facilities of COOMAF, led by President Carmélia, and saw the growth potential of the fishing industry.
We thank the Federal Government through MAPA/MDA, the Government of Bahia through CAR, and the Government of Tocantins through Ruraltins and its servants.
Until next time..."
