Agricultural support initiatives launched in Rondônia

Various initiatives are underway to support rural producers in the state of Rondônia, Brazil. In Porto Velho, fourteen rural producers from the Gleba Aliança region completed a backhoe operator training course. This program was a partnership between the Municipal Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (Semagric), the Federation of Agriculture and Livestock of the State of Rondônia (Faperon), and the National Rural Learning Service (Senar). The training aims to provide technical skills for operating heavy machinery to increase income and strengthen family farming.

In Ariquemes, the Municipal Secretariat of Agriculture received four vehicles and two tractors through a parliamentary amendment from State Deputy Alex Redano. The equipment, valued at approximately R$ 1.52 million, includes three pickup trucks, one Renault Oroch, and two agricultural tractors. These resources are intended to improve service delivery to rural workers, with the vehicles assisting team mobility and the tractors aiding in soil preparation and other field services.
