He specified that this edition is intended to be innovative in building a sustainable and productive future in the agricultural sector, inviting reflection on an organized way of practicing agriculture so as not to exclude anyone.  He indicated that he wanted to encourage the commitment and success of entrepreneurs working in this field, recalling that agriculture plays a fundamental role in economic and social development, particularly in developing countries. Mr. Tshinemu explained that the “Samedi bilanga” program is a large-scale project based on the idea that all Congolese people can engage in agriculture on Saturdays, whether they are entrepreneurs, civil servants, or students. “We chose Saturday to give everyone the opportunity, because this day should not only be devoted to rest, but also be a day when we go to the fields,” he concluded.
