The Centre for the Promotion of Private Enterprise (CPPE) has called for a clear, rules-based and market-friendly farm price stabilisation and farmer income protection framework that would keep food affordable for consumers while protecting farmers’ incomes and safeguarding investment in agriculture.
The CPPE made this call yesterday in a policy brief on sustainable food security titled “Imperative of Farm Price Stabilisation and Farmer Income Protection Framework for Nigeria,” which canvassed for minimum guaranteed prices for selected priority crops
The Chief Executive Officer of CPPE, Dr. Muda Yusuf, who issued the brief, said that maintaining sustainable food security, rural livelihoods and national economic stability have become a major policy imperative for the federal government.
