Farmer s, in different interviews, said excessive extortion and a bad road network are their two major problems. They said these have contributed to the wastage of their farm crops as they are unable to convey their produce to the urban centres and markets due to the bad roads across the communities. A community leader in Okuku, Yala LGA, Joseph Odey, said: 'The issue of numerous extortion checkpoints in these villages and towns has become very worrisome.
'This not only discourages farmers from taking their produce to market but also causes an increase in prices for our people to buy to feed their families in these hard times.' Another farmer, Oko Efuji, said the problem is even worse during the rainy season, from June to October, which is also the main harvest season and the end of the farming period.
