Australians to help NTT farmers

KUPANG, East Nusa Tenggara: Australian businesspeople will
train farmers here to process fodder and breed cattle.

The head of Australia's Industry and Trade Ministry office,
Willem Therik, was quoted by Antara as saying here yesterday that
the offer had received a positive response from local residents.

The training, he said, will open opportunities for local
farmers to earn a profit by selling cattle on the domestic or
international market.

Willem said the Balangarri Aboriginal Corp. of Australia plans
to import 1,000 head of beef cattle from Indonesia. (mds)
