Mahadi Dan-Gwaggo said he was successfully able to farm beans, groundnut, rice, sorghum and millet this year without any harassment from bandits. However, he urged the government to subsidise the price of fertiliser and make it affordable for farmers.“We want the government to supply us with fertiliser at a subsidised price, because this year, the cost of fertiliser was high compared to last year. And you know, the price is always a determining factor to the prices of farm produce.
The national president, All Farmers Association of Nigeria , Engr Kabir Ibrahim, said insecurity and climate change has been the major challenge of agriculture production. “ The cheapest fertiliser in town is around N11,000 and a lot of farmers couldn’t buy, asides from the perennial issue, there is also lack of technology usage, input in terms of pesticides and herbicide.”
