The Government of the Azores will support, in a total amount of 98 Euros, the Farmers’ Association of São Jorge and the Young Farmers’ Association of São Jorge in order to provide a continuous support to their members, regarding the income, the investment in farms, the agricultural accountancy and the implementation of new agricultural and technical equipments, as well as production methods.
Through a cooperation protocol signed during the Agricultural Fair of São Jorge, the Regional Secretariat for Agriculture and Forestry intends to continue the work that has been carried out to strengthen and develop the genetic improvement of breeding animals, which is demonstrated by the artificial insemination service, and to maintain and improve the rendering of an efficient service of dairy contrast on São Jorge Island, which is managed by the agricultural associations of that island.
With these initiatives, the Government of the Azores intends to encourage an increasing involvement of the producers’ organisation, thus stimulating and improving the performance of the interventions related to animal production and to the growth, productivity and modernisation of the animal husbandry farms.
