The Minister of Agriculture and Food Security Abubakar Kyari says the country is expecting a bumper harvest before year-end.
Food inflation has reached 40 per cent according to data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), pushing the prices of essential commodities beyond the reach of millions of Nigerians.
But Kyari said the Federal Government has measures in place to address the situation including ramping up farming which would increase food production.
“It [bumper harvest] is about October-November this year. That’s when we are going to have the harvest. We are expecting a bumper harvest baring any natural issues,”
“Well, I am just giving you the assurance that we will have a bumper harvest,” he said.
