Thessia agricultural plan bears fruits, in a literal sense

For the first time since the end of the Reaper War the economy board on Thessia have issued a positive value for the aliment sustainability index for 2188 for the asari home world.

The index is calculated over all relevant imports and exports in relation to the net agricultural production and also takes into account which goods are produced or imported. A positive value means a planet is able to cover all its alimental needs without depending on specific imports.

“Early focus on environmental control systems allowed us to guarantee up to three better than average harvests in the area where agricultural production was possible,” explains board member Lana Ramsis. “The growth of agriculturally usable surface in the last ten months was essential for the development since it enabled us to deliver some key products ourselves for the first time since the Reaper War, instead of importing them.”

Ending the dependency on crucial grains and seeds takes a lot of strain from agricultural colonies like Paros or Nevos. The latter, mainly known for its scenic beaches, has also taken on a leading role in agricultural production in asari space.

There is still much to do though.
“We still have many areas to decontaminate and reestablish infrastructure but the plan is bearing fruits in a very literal sense. Malnutrition can be completely eliminated; today it is no more a question of quantity but of logistics. The next step in the plan is rebuilding a widespread export market again for basic aliments and further restructuring of seafood based products.”

Currently Thessia only exports on a limited scale specialized products which were available in excess like for example seaweeds. A large convoy loaded with enriched Munya-seeds is heading out to the Nimbus Cluster as a symbolic gesture later this week accompanying classic Armali thanksgiving.
