We are currently in Maiduguri, Borno State for the official distribution of relief materials to flood victims by the Federal Government.

A total of 100 trucks have been allocated, consisting of 50 trucks of maize, 30 trucks of sorghum, and 20 trucks of millet.

I had a meeting with the management of Biosources and Technologies Ltd, the conversation revolved around strategies to enhance cassava production and its value chain in Nigeria, considering regional consumption patterns and food security.

There’s the need to examine the entire cassava value chain to maximize its potential, lets refer to Thailand's $6 billion cassava processing industry. Only 40% of Nigeria's 63 million tons of cassava production is used for food, with significant portions wasted or inefficiently used. Chinese companies are interested in Nigerian cassava due to local market challenges.

We also discussed high transportation costs and the financial struggles of farmers, which hinder profitability and production and ways to support these farmers to bolster productivity.

As we face the devastation caused by recent flooding in our agricultural heartlands, I extend my deepest sympathies to the thousands of farmers whose livelihoods have been swept away by these unforgiving forces of nature. The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has reported that thousands of hectares of farmland have been damaged, and more than forty thousand people have been displaced. This is a deeply troubling development, with significant social and economic implications for our rural communities, particularly small-scale farmers.

Despite the challenges, we remain committed to achieving our food security targets. We will intensify our efforts in dry season farming to mitigate the losses. The impact of the flooding will undoubtedly affect this year’s harvest, but we are hopeful that it will have a minimal effect on our national food security.

In addition, I also extend my sympathies to the farmers in North-Central, North-East, parts of the North-West, and South-West who have suffered from the recent dry spell. The erratic weather patterns we are witnessing are a reminder of the urgent need to invest in technologies and practices that empower our farmers to adapt to a changing climate and safeguard their livelihoods.

Under the guidance of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, we are embracing smart agriculture and the use of early maturing seeds to pave the way for a more sustainable and secure agricultural sector. Our focus will be on strengthening the 2024/2025 dry season farming to recover the losses from the floods.

To achieve this, my ministry is working closely with the Ministry of Water Resources and Sanitation. We have already constituted a joint committee to explore ways to expand areas under cultivation during the dry season and boost food production.

I urge all Nigerians to stand in solidarity with our farmers and offer them the support and resources they need during this difficult time. Together, we will weather this storm and emerge stronger, united in our commitment to the agricultural sector and to ensuring that our farmers continue to feed our great nation.

Our administration has unveiled a series of strategic measures aimed at addressing the high food prices currently affecting our nation. These measures will be implemented over the next 180 days;

1.150-Day Duty-Free Import Window for Food Commodities
•Suspension of duties, tariffs, and taxes for the importation of certain food commodities through land and sea borders. These commodities include maize, husked brown rice, wheat, and cowpeas.
•Imported food commodities will be subjected to a Recommended Retail Price (RRP). We understand concerns about the quality of these imports, especially regarding their genetic composition. The government assures that all standards will be maintained to ensure the safety and quality of food items for consumption.
2.The Federal Government will import 250,000 metric tons of wheat and 250,000 metric tons of maize. These semi-processed commodities will be supplied to small-scale processors and millers across the country.
3.Engagement with relevant stakeholders to set a GMP and purchase surplus food commodities to restock the National Strategic Food Reserve.
4.Ramp-Up of Production for the 2024/2025 Farming Cycle
•Continued support to smallholder farmers during the ongoing wet season farming through existing government initiatives.
•Strengthening and accelerating dry season farming nationwide.
•Embarking on aggressive agricultural mechanization to reduce drudgery, lower production costs, and boost productivity.
•Collaborating with sub-national entities to identify irrigable lands and increase land under cultivation.
•Working closely with the Federal Ministry of Water Resources and Sanitation to rehabilitate and maintain irrigation facilities under river basin authorities across the federation.
•Developing strategic engagement for youth and women for immediate greenhouse cultivation of horticultural crops such as tomatoes and pepper to increase production volume, stabilize prices, and address food shortages.
•Fast-tracking ongoing engagements with the Nigerian Military to rapidly cultivate arable lands under the Defence Farms Scheme and encouraging other para-military establishments to utilize available arable lands for cultivation.
5.Renewed Hope National Livestock Transformation Implementation Committee
•This committee has been inaugurated on Tuesday, July 9, 2024, to develop and implement policies prioritizing livestock development in alignment with the National Livestock Transformation Plan, and a ministry of Livestock Development has been created.
6.Enhancement of Nutrition Security
•Promoting the production of fortified food commodities.
•Supporting the scale-up of the Home Garden Initiative by the Office of the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Over the next 14 days, in close collaboration with the Presidential Food Systems Coordinating Unit (PFSCU) and the Economic Management Team (EMT), we will convene with respective agencies to finalize the implementation frameworks. We will ensure that information is publicly available to facilitate the participation of all relevant stakeholders across the country.

The success of these measures hinges on the cooperation and collaboration of all relevant MDAs and stakeholders. As our nation confronts this critical food security challenge, I reiterate President Tinubu’s unwavering commitment to achieving food security and ensuring that no Nigerian goes to bed hungry. My team and I will work swiftly and diligently to actualize these crucial policies, ensuring food security for everyone in the immediate term while continuing our strategies for long-term interventions to address underlying causes and ensure sustainable and resilient food systems in Nigeria.
