Kaduna, Nov. 6, 2025 – The Federal Government of Nigeria is to stockpile its Strategic food reserve to ensure food security and stabilize prices.
Abubakar Kyari, the Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, said this in Kaduna on Thursday during a working tour of the state on the sideline of the 47th Regular Meeting of the National Council on Agriculture and Food Security.
He assured farmers of the readiness of the federal government to address the challenges posed by the paradox of falling food prices in the face of rising cost of inputs.
“Though farmers are worried about the crash in the cost of food, but they also go to the same markets and benefit from cheaper prices.
“At the same time, the problem with farmers is the price of inputs.
“President Bola Tinubu is working on that. We are going to tackle the price of inputs and balance the welfare of citizens and that of the farmers.
“Very soon, we are also going to stock up strategic reserves, which will give a lot of financial liquidity to the agricultural sector for farmers to be able to go into all-year-round farming, especially in the dry season,” the minister said
