The Federal Government says it has secured a $134 million loan facility from the African Development Bank (AfDB) to support farmers in boosting seed and grain production across the country.
The Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, Sen. Abubakar Kyari, disclosed this during the unveiling of the 2024/2025 National Dry Season Farming in Calabar.
He explained that the reintroduction of national dry season farming aims to boost year-round agricultural production, and the loan facility would play a vital role in achieving this goal while also ensuring national food security.
