Kebbi: FG distributes farming equipment, inputs to farmers’ cooperatives
In an effort to boost national food security, the federal government, through the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security, has distributed free farming equipment and inputs to 31 smallholder farmers’ cooperatives in Kebbi.
The cooperatives were drawn from across the 21 LGAs. Each of the cooperatives received a package including 20 cartons of liquid organic fertilisers, one unit of rice de-stoner, one unit of food dehydrator, one unit of maize thresher and equipment, two units of knapsack sprayers, one unit of multi-purpose thresher, and one unit of smoke clean machine.
Inaugurating the distribution in Argungu, agriculture minister Abubakar Kyari said the package was in line with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
The minister added that the ministry had rolled out many programmes and projects to address some of the challenges faced by farmers and to make food available, accessible and affordable to all Nigerians.
