Mr Abubakar added that the association would support maize farmers with the best available inputs and technical support to boost maize production.

Dry season farming, according to him, will also enhance the local economy and enable cottage industries to grow across the country.

The MAAN president said the association was targeting to produce 22 million metric tons of maize during 2020 wet season farming. He remarked that maize had the potential of becoming a ‘Wonder Crop’ and the miracle that all farmers and consumers were looking for. He reiterated the association’s resolve to work with the federal government towards formulating standard and stable agriculture policy for the country.
