Million to Nicaragua
The UN Food and
Agriculture Organization
(FAO) will give
Nicaragua near $100
million dollars to start
the harvest season and
help achieve food
safety.
Armando Cerrato,
associate representative
of FAO, said the aid
will go to small rice
and corn producers for
two spring crops.
The FAO arranges a
comprehensive plan with
the government to seek
donations to get
certified seeds, input
and technical aid.
Nicaragua hopes to
become granary of
Central America and be
able to export surplus
productions. |
