FG’s Reforms To Crash Food Prices, Says Kyari

With Nigeria’s population projected to reach 400 million by
2050, Kyari said the government was focused on mechanised
agriculture and youth empowerment to guarantee long-term
food security.
He said that the government was also working to restore
national assets, including tractors and essential equipment
to boost productivity.
To reduce post-harvest losses, Kyari announced a bilateral
agreement with Brazil focused on the preservation, processing,
and storage of perishable food items.
He also said Nigeria had partnered with Belarus to provide
aggregation services aimed at significantly increasing output.
The minister warned against misuse of governmentsupplied
agricultural machinery, urging farmers to make
judicious use of such equipment.
He further revealed that only three of Nigeria’s silo sites
were currently functional, but plans were underway to reactivate
the remaining facilities.
“The Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security will collaborate
with stakeholders to ensure these critical storage
facilities are fully utilised,” Kyari said
