00:07:47have juices there. You have wines that we have produced. You also have
00:07:51jams, but we also have livestock products, as you can see
00:07:54there. We have pallets of eggs that we collected this morning. We also have
00:07:58reformed laying hens that we have put
00:08:01there in a box. We have three cycles there. We
00:08:05have the college and we have the high school, but there
00:08:08the practice is... on market gardening and we have
00:08:12come to present our products, what the children are
00:08:15producing. We have come with purple
00:08:19eggplants. This 2nd edition will make it possible to
00:08:22consolidate the achievements of the first edition and
00:08:25to encourage investment in the agricultural
00:08:28and livestock sectors.
00:08:31d'élevage.
00:08:33At the end of the ceremony, Denis Sassou Nguesso spoke to the
00:08:37press. He expressed his satisfaction while
00:08:40calling for increased commitment to this vital
00:08:43sector. Let's listen to the President of the
00:08:46Republic.
00:08:51We have launched
00:08:55the slogan of food self-sufficiency.
00:08:59This was already the end of the last
00:09:02century. We spoke
00:09:04of food
00:09:06self-sufficiency in the year
00:09:092000. And we... We
00:09:12are uh today
00:09:152026. In the year 2000 we did not achieve the
00:09:19objectives. You can see well
00:09:23that we have not been discouraged
00:09:25uh
00:09:28we have continued to believe that a people who
00:09:31do not produce what they consume
00:09:35are not a free people. Today, the 2nd
00:09:38edition of the Great Agricultural Fair of Congo. I can
00:09:42say that I am filled with joy because
00:09:45the movement has truly been launched
00:09:48and launched on the scale of the whole
00:09:51country and
00:09:53launched
00:09:55at the level of all age categories, young
00:09:59people, adults, but also
00:10:02elderly people, and also launched at the level of
00:10:06administrative and political
00:10:08officials.
00:10:10You talk about the ministers. Well, I haven't
00:10:13seen much of
00:10:16the exhibitions of parliamentarians,
00:10:22the assembly or the senate, or
00:10:26both united in congress, I had
00:10:29issued a directive for each parliamentarian
00:10:32to have an agricultural activity. I know that there are
00:10:36initiatives that exist.
00:10:39So these initiatives that exist, even if they are
00:10:43small, must be showcased so that
00:10:47we feel that uh our whole people
00:10:51uh has launched
00:10:54into this vast
00:10:57movement of agricultural
00:11:00development. We are
00:11:046 million and some
00:11:06inhabitants. Even if the population of Congo
00:11:10were to double by
00:11:122050, as the African
00:11:16Union says, then
00:11:19we will be in the year
00:11:222050 perhaps 12,000 inhabitants
00:11:25only. So with a
00:11:29vast movement like this,
00:11:32the land we have, the sun we have,
00:11:35the water, the forests, our people will
00:11:38produce food, feed the people, not
00:11:41uh remain dependent. This does
00:11:45not mean that we will not buy from
00:11:48others what we cannot produce ourselves. Here we
00:11:52will buy from others, but we will also
00:11:55sell. We will also sell to
00:11:58others. And so I decided
00:12:02that every year
00:12:05this exhibition, this fair, the
00:12:09great agricultural fair of Congo, that every year,
00:12:13on the same date, you see,
00:12:16straddling the national holiday, this is also a symbol
00:12:20that every time
00:12:22we go to
00:12:25celebrate the
00:12:28independence of our country, we will
00:12:32also announce the march towards
00:12:35food independence
00:12:38that our people have
00:12:42mobilized
00:12:44their capacities to feed themselves and even
00:12:47to sell to others. And I believe the movement is well underway.
00:12:51I leave this fair
00:12:54very
00:12:55satisfied.
00:12:59The opening of this fair also took on an international
00:13:03dimension with the presence of several foreign delegations,
00:13:09Mali and the Central African Republic, as
00:13:13well as a representative of the
00:13:16Agriculture. All have praised the efforts made by Congo to
00:13:19develop its agriculture. Herman
00:13:23Babysa and Primices.
00:13:26The organization of the 2nd edition of the Great Agricultural Fair of
00:13:30Congo is a strong signal for Congolese agriculture,
00:13:33which has seen some evolution in recent
00:13:36years. Congo, through the vision of the President of the
00:13:40Republic, wants to fight effectively against food
00:13:43imports. These initiatives in this
00:13:46sector, which are visible, are appreciated by
00:13:49personalities from other countries who have come to participate in this event, which
00:13:53also constitutes hope for Africa. Professor Emmanuel
00:14:01the CAR, Dr.
00:14:04Agriculture of Mali, and the
00:14:08Agriculture and Rural Affairs of China, praised Congo's
00:14:11progress. This kind of event, as he says, allows us
00:14:15to practically promote
00:14:19So it allows us to show the outside world that Congo has
00:14:23the potential for Congo to practically
00:14:27move away from
00:14:31in terms of agricultural
00:14:34is about feeding Congolese people. Now, when we feed
00:14:37Congolese people, the surplus must go into
00:14:40industries so that the Republic of Congo can leave the
00:14:44primary sector and go to the secondary sector. In reality,
00:14:47there is no choice. What is
00:14:50presented here is truly
00:14:53formidable and... I highly advise my
00:14:57Agriculture of Congo, to
00:15:01perpetuate this event to show the whole world what
00:15:05we are capable of doing in our different countries in
00:15:09Africa. Cooperation between
00:15:12agriculture, in the broad sense, will be at the heart of an
00:15:16exchange between the two ministers. One of the objectives of this
00:15:19trip is for the two countries, Congo and Mali, and between the two
00:15:23ministries, to sit down
00:15:26and think about a cooperation
00:15:28model, how to at least sign a memorandum
00:15:32of understanding between the two
00:15:35agriculture, in the field of livestock,
00:15:39fish farming. The RDC community in Congo
00:15:43supports the agricultural policy of the President of the Republic. We are
00:15:46here because we must also
00:15:50contribute to the initiatives of the President of the
00:15:53Republic. We are impressed to see how things
00:15:57have been organized. Truly, there was a very good
00:16:00organization. Technology
00:16:03is evolving daily. The Stanpower cooperative
00:16:06supports agro-pastoral actions by focusing on
00:16:10renewable energies. We support agro-pastoral
00:16:14action in the field of boreholes,
00:16:18solar energy. We currently have
00:16:21solar pumps for water pumping for
00:16:24irrigation that could already help
00:16:28farmers in the context of water pumping
00:16:32sites. And we also
00:16:36have solar freezers to help
00:16:39breeders in the context of product conservation.
00:16:42We have all the products here capable
00:16:46of supporting agro-pastoral action. Barring any last-minute
00:16:49changes, the ministers of agriculture of Niger,
00:16:52Senegal, Venezuela and Cuba
00:16:56will be able to take part in this 2nd edition of the Great Agricultural Fair of
00:17:00Congo.
00:17:02Chinese actors, among the many participants in this
00:17:06great agricultural fair, also shared their experience
00:17:11the Belt and Road Initiative, emphasizing the
00:17:15prospects for agricultural cooperation,
00:17:18Ange Koloter.
00:17:21Agricultural showcase of Congo, the 2nd edition of the GFAC: Great Agricultural
00:17:25Fair of Congo, brings together several actors whose
00:17:28interventions contribute to the development of a
00:17:32the diversification of the national economy. In this
00:17:36new edition, the People's Republic of China, which
00:17:39works with Congo in the operation of the modern technology
00:17:42laboratory within the framework of the Belt and Road
00:17:46Initiative, is well
00:17:47present.
00:17:51This time, the Chinese delegation brought
00:17:54new varieties, new technologies and also
00:17:57new products to participate in this
00:18:01fair. The purpose of our visit is to
00:18:05deepen Sino-agricultural and Sino-Congolese
00:18:08cooperation, especially in the field of tropical
00:18:12agriculture, and also to promote
00:18:14Sino-Congolese cooperation. I
00:18:18hope this can promote
00:18:22cooperation between
00:18:24countries.
00:18:31since its creation, they have focused on three
00:18:34main areas: the selection of
00:18:38new varieties that adapt to the local
00:18:41climate conditions. Second, this is research on new
00:18:45technologies.
00:18:48And the third is to develop new
00:18:51products. At the stand of the Dolisie department, for example,
00:18:55Mama 250, referring to the price of all the products she sells,
00:18:58and Rose Moutiba, both farmers,
00:19:02say they are delighted with this fortnight's initiative
00:19:06and are proud to exhibit their products here.
00:19:09We sell at a good price. The person who has 500
00:19:12eats, the one who has 1 also eats, the one who has
00:19:16250 also eats. Those in Brazzaville have not
00:19:21value in agriculture. They are
00:19:24in Brazzaville only buying what we produce. They
00:19:28buy at a lower price and resell at a higher
00:19:31price. Since the doors of agriculture
00:19:34are now open, the 2nd edition of the GFAC, which
00:19:38started on August 5, will continue until the 20th of the
00:19:42same month, the month of Congo's independence, the fullness of which
00:19:45cannot be conceived without true food
00:19:49sovereignty.
00:19:52The Congolese Labor Party, of which Denis Sassou Nguesso is the president of the
00:19:56central committee, also marked its presence. Cadres
00:19:59and activists mobilized on the fairground and its
00:20:02surroundings to show their support for the head of state. A look back
00:20:06at this mobilization with Merveille Issombo.
00:20:12the march towards development, the Congolese
00:20:14Labor Party has confirmed its status as a mobilization
00:20:17machine. Once again, cadres and activists responded
00:20:21in large numbers to the launching of the 2nd edition of the Great Agricultural Fair of
00:20:24Congo. A popular fervor that recalls the party's
00:20:28major political events. This mobilization,
00:20:32far from being circumstantial, reflects a well-maintained
00:20:35field organization.
00:20:37The PCT, as usual, does not
00:20:40of the event, hence this impressive
00:20:44mobilization. Uh, it's for
00:20:48uh, it's the...
00:20:51the actions, that is, the agricultural policy to
00:20:55break with the abusive importation
00:20:58of food products. It's a 2nd
00:21:01edition, and we had the heavy task of mobilizing
00:21:055,000 activists, but I can tell you that we have even
00:21:09exceeded the quota that was allocated to us. We can therefore
00:21:12feel reassured for this heavy task that
00:21:16we have always had regarding mobilization.
00:21:20Je vi, worker of the Congolese Labor Party, the organization of
00:21:23Congolese women took part for the ninth time in this demonstration of loyalty to
00:21:30OFC is always mobilized, and here
00:21:34precisely, it is a demonstration of strength, especially for women
00:21:37from cooperatives, because they come precisely
00:21:40to exhibit everything they produce, all their suffering,
00:21:44their pain. They are happy to see it valued by the
00:21:47President of the Republic. At each presidential
00:21:50displacement, the PCT activists renew their commitment
00:21:55State. We, the women, support him in his
00:21:59project to achieve food self-sufficiency.
00:22:02We must produce, and the women are
00:22:06there to thank the very great
00:22:08comrade for all he does
00:22:12through agriculture. When we
00:22:15mobilized, people came en masse to
00:22:19efforts in everything he is undertaking in the
00:22:24sectors. Before leaving the premises, Denis Sassou Nguesso
00:22:28fraternized with his activists and sympathizers, a way of
00:22:31returning the favor for the warm welcome he received.
00:22:34réservé.
00:22:38of the "Patriarch Denis Sassou Nguesso for All" initiative, led by Dignity
00:22:42Elvis Challison, who reserved a warm welcome for President
00:22:46Denis Sassou Nguesso,
00:22:49reaffirming their support for the government's agricultural
00:22:52policy. Rech Moussa for the report.
00:22:55reportage.
00:22:57A blue tide that appears at each appearance, an
00:23:01image that has become recurrent around Patriarch Denis
00:23:04Sassou Nguesso, who seems to have
00:23:07become accustomed to it and appreciates each demonstration. At the 2nd
00:23:11edition of the Great Agricultural Fair of Congo, the blue wave of the
00:23:14Patriarch led by Din
00:23:18renewed the demonstration of its effectiveness in terms of mobilization.
00:23:33With the presidential page now turned, the movement has
00:23:37already resumed its activities by returning to what
00:23:40constitutes its primary commitment: supporting
00:23:43project leaders. Faithful to this vocation, it
00:23:47intends to continue this support while maintaining a strong
00:23:51mobilization dynamic to reaffirm its unwavering
00:23:55state, affectionately called the Patriarch. Immediately after the
00:23:59elections, following the overwhelming victory of
00:24:03the Patriarch and his supporters, we tried to organize things
00:24:06to bring our action in line with the
00:24:10initial vision of the GAE. This might have suggested a red
00:24:14herring, but we are here to reaffirm that our
00:24:17support for the Patriarch's actions remains
00:24:21unchanged. We will continue to support the Patriarch's actions, especially when
00:24:25they support the entrepreneurial vision that we already share. The
00:24:29GAE calendar includes several matrices to be made. You know, this is our
00:24:33only program that supports actors who are already on the ground. So the
00:24:37dates have been announced. We will go down to the field, always with the vision
00:24:40of supporting the Head of State, this time by supporting those in the
00:24:44agricultural sector, but there are not only the agricultural sectors, there are other
00:24:48sectors as well, workers, etc. So they continue to benefit from the GAE's support.
00:24:52as it was from Cousieux, I think nothing has changed. Between
00:24:55supporting project leaders and demonstrating strength on the
00:24:58ground, the patriarch's blue wave intends to maintain
00:25:02the course, a strategy that combines
00:25:05local commitment and political loyalty with the
00:25:09promise to remain a key player in major mobilizations
00:25:12in favor of Patriarch Denis
00:25:15Sassou Nguesso.
00:25:20In another part of the news before closing this broadcast,
00:25:24the Eco Kamako tractor assembly plant is
00:25:27now ready, equipped with a capacity, a
00:25:31assembly capacity of 10
00:25:34extractors, sorry, equipped with an assembly capacity of 10
00:25:38tractors per day, it will be inaugurated on August 11,
00:25:412026 by the President of the Republic, Denis
00:25:44Sassou Nguesso, located in the industrial and commercial park of the
00:25:48Maloku Special Economic Zone. This unit will contribute to the
00:25:52Congolese agriculture. Celestin Okano
00:25:55Erika. Agriculture in the broad
00:25:58sense is the central pillar of the diversification strategy
00:26:02championed by the President of the Republic, Denis
00:26:06Sassou Nguesso. Faced with the country's dependence on
00:26:09oil, the Head of State has made
00:26:11agriculture one of the absolute priorities of his
00:26:15development program. This political ambition is based
00:26:19on mechanization to reduce the arduousness of
00:26:23working the land, settle rural populations, and
00:26:27make agricultural professions attractive to
00:26:29young people. Eco Kamako, a
00:26:32mixed Sino-Congolese limited company,
00:26:35specializing in the assembly and manufacture of tractors
00:26:39and agricultural equipment, fully embraces
00:26:43State, Denis Sassou Nguesso, who places mechanization at
00:26:47the heart of his agricultural policy.
00:26:50The factory is located in the Malouku industrial and
00:26:55Special Economic Zone, a factory designed to
00:26:59assemble 10 tractors per day, intended for the
00:27:02Congolese market, but also for export to
00:27:06Central Africa.
00:27:27after that, he will continue
00:27:30to advance, he also the
00:27:33seat,
00:27:37the uh the the hood, yes,
00:27:40after that he still has the the
00:27:43step, the binou, yes,
00:27:46the last post, meaning we assembled
00:27:50sweet, we will go out, we
00:27:53do, yes, meaning this
00:27:56this tractor is already finished, we have done all the
00:28:00preparations to welcome the
00:28:02visit of the president, the main objective
00:28:06pursued by Eko Kamako from CEO Willy Ettoka
00:28:10is to mechanize national agriculture in order to increase
00:28:14productivity and reduce food
00:28:17imports. Agricultural machinery engineer
00:28:20Eli Massamba calls on agricultural operators:
00:28:23it's really the price, it's a tractor that won't be too expensive,
00:28:27it will be practically within reach of Congolese people who want to do
00:28:30agricultural mechanization well. We have three
00:28:34quality at 75 horsepower, then 100 horsepower and 120
00:28:38horsepower, and so with these powers, you are able to
00:28:42correctly mechanize agricultural work, whether
00:28:45it's good, it all depends on the pedology, when you are on the plateau,
00:28:48it's sand, so any tractor can work on the plateau, but at the level of the
00:28:52Buenza Luni, it's from 100 horsepower and 120 horsepower, and these tractors
00:28:56are also available at Eco Kamako here. This assembly
00:29:00plant was officially received by
00:29:03the government in April 2023, and the
00:29:06company was formally approved under the
00:29:09Special Economic Zone regime in May
00:29:122026 for a renewable period of 15
00:29:15years. It's a public-private
00:29:18partnership. That's the end of the news. Thank you for
00:29:22your loyal attention. My thanks also go to
00:29:25the technical and editorial teams. As for me, I'll see you another
