The Federal Government has unveiled new agricultural reforms aimed at ending hunger, boosting food production, and reducing post-harvest losses estimated at over $10bn annually, in line with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda for food security and national prosperity.
The Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, Senator Abubakar Kyari, and the Minister of State, Senator Sabi Abdullahi, announced this through a signed statement on Thursday.
Kyari said agriculture remained the backbone of Nigeria’s economy and the key to national renewal.
He explained that the government’s ongoing reforms were designed to “end hunger, ensure food sufficiency and drastically reduce post-harvest losses draining the nation’s agricultural value chain.”
