“About 80 percent of our population engaged in both crop and livestock farming, adding that, his administration has remained committed to exploring more avenues for the enhancement of agricultural productivity as the main stimulus for providing employment, self-reliance and income generation on the farming population.

To achieve our set goals in agriculture and improve our productivity, government is providing fertilizer to farmers at this most appropriate time for application on farm.

“Government procured the fertilizer at #25,000 per bag and would be sold to our farmers at #13,000 per bag and appeal to the beneficiaries of this palliative to ensure that they appreciate our gesture by making proper use of the commodity and avoiding its resale.

Governor Buni warn that government would not condone any act of sabotage through diversion or hoarding of the product to create unnecessary hardship to our people.
