Problem everywhere 😭😭😭

Gombe state farmers are going through one of the hardest time due to Hippopotamus attack. Yes! You read it right. Hippopotamus has caused a lot of them total loss especially Rice farmers.

Let me explain better
Farmers in Diba community, Yamaltu Yeba LG are now sleeping on their farms - this is sad 😢

Hassan a farmer said he lost 10-15bags due to hipo attacks, in 2024 he spent 600k to get youths to guard his farm, hippos have increased his cost by 50%. This year he's been paying 10k per week per youth to guard his farm and he has 5 youths.

Another farmer Idris said he's lost 35 bags in 2024. The rice farmers have their farms close to a river/dam that house the hippos.

They come out in the night to wreck havoc. And it's been a challenge for them. They destroy ready to harvest farms.

I feel Nigerian farmers fate are stacked against all odds. Everyday problem.

Fight inflation, fight market, fight insecurity, fight lack of amenities still dey fight hippopotamus

Se fe pa wa ni 😭😭😭

Between May 2023 and December 2024 Onions experienced the highest increase in price followed
- Yam
- Rice
- Plantain
- Beans
- Maize
- Gaari

These are staple foods and we can attribute these price increases to

- Seasonality of produce e.g Onions

- Insufficient production e.g Maize, we can't produce enough to feed ourselves

- Value chain pressure e.g Cassava. A lot of companies are buying Cassava for ethanol, starch etc.hence farmers would sell to the highest bidder

- Logistics, since the increase in fuel prices food logistics are overwhelmed

- Inflation: cost of production has x3 hence price of food goes up.

- Insecurity: lesser farms are cultivated yearly due to insecurity fears putting pressure on the produced food which results in a hike in food price.

Will we experience a reduction anytime this year?

Yes, we might experience some reduced price as some food produce are on season, but if we do not attend to the fundamental production issues we will continue to experience food inflation.
