Tico Chickens to Fight Hunger
Nicaragua received from Costa
Rica a first shipment of 16,000
chickens, which will be part of
the “Zero hunger” plan promoted
by President Daniel Ortega to
fight hunger and poverty in the
rural areas of the neighboring
country.
The goal is to benefit 5,000
families this year and to reach
75,000 by the end of Ortega’s
term, in 1012.
Cattle, pigs, seed, financing,
and farming tools are part of
the aid for farmers included in
the plan, according to
Nicaraguan official sources.
