The Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development says it will synergize with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development to ensure that small scale farmers affected by the Covid19 pandemic are supported.

This update was giving to us when the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Sadiya Umar Farouq made this known today when the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development flagged off the distribution of agricultural inputs to small holder farmers affected by covid 19 at the Old Parade ground in Abuja.

“Farmers have been mostly hit following the effects of restricted movements, closure of markets, reduced livelihoods of people which also reduced marketing outlets, the unavailability and price hike of inputs. Many could not fully produce their commodities due to hardship.

“It is in recognition of this that the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development answered to the directive of Mr President to mount a nationwide palliative programme to support our poor and vulnerable farmers. | congratulate the Honourable Minister and | assure him that my Ministry will support this initiative fully”.

Umar Farouq stated that federal government’s school feeding programme will patronize the farmers and make use of their produce to feed the children.

She however advised the farmers to be productive as the sustenance of Agriculture is paramount to adding to the economy of any state.

“I want to assure the Honourable Minister that our relevant interventions under the National Social Investment Programme (NSIP) fully complement this initiative. The N-Power interventions will ensure that appropriate skills and competences are delivered to the small scale farmers to ensure effectiveness and productivity.

“The Government Enterprise and Empowerment Programme (GEEP) will also ensure that timely loans are delivered to the farmers especially in the FarmerMoni package, to expand their production and sustain their businesses. Furthermore, our National Home-Grown School Feeding Programme (NHGFP) will serve as an immediate off-taker to the farm produce for feeding children in our public primary schools. This is a deliberate market for the community farmers on one hand and also a support to poor children to go to school effectively”.
