The population of Mauá
village, located on the Nivico road in the Quissanga district of Cabo Delgado,
northern Mozambique, has expressed dissatisfaction due to the lack of
agricultural inputs distribution by agriculture technicians, which has made it
difficult for them to acquire these essential resources for rural production.
According to an agriculture
technician working in the area, identified as Cassimo, each farmer in the
region has around 3 hectares of land to cultivate.
He highlighted that, in total,
around 50 hectares are monitored in his area of work. However, the scarcity of
rainfall has been a major obstacle to the development of plants, which has
compromised local agricultural production.
Cassimo emphasized that,
despite expectations for a good harvest this year, the lack of rainfall has
harmed crop growth, leading to a failure in agricultural production in the
region.
“There were great
expectations for agricultural production this year, but the weather conditions
did not help. The rains are scarce, which has directly affected plant development,”
said the technician.
Regarding security in the
region, residents of Mauá report that, despite the difficulties, life goes on
normally.
There have been no reports
of criminal activities in the past three months. The local population stated
that they continue working on their machambas (agricultural land) regularly,
without the presence of criminals, which has brought a sense of peace.
However, a resident of the
village, identified as Abdul, lamented the situation of education in the
locality. He pointed out that, so far, there have been no records of school
registrations for children, which is a cause for concern for the parents and
villagers.
“It is very sad that the
children have not been registered for school yet. The education of our children
is essential for the future of our community,” said Abdul.
Furthermore, the teachers
from the village have not yet returned to begin school activities, which has
caused anxiety among the residents, who are eagerly awaiting the start of
classes.
The lack of return to
educational activities has been an ongoing issue in the region, worsened by the
pandemic situation and the lack of infrastructure in local schools. (Seven Mussa)
