Minister Rallies Farmers to Embrace Buhari’s Economic Diversification Plan
Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Sabo Nanono, is rallying farmers in the country to support the economic diversification agenda of the Buhari administration through increased agricultural production, processing and value addition.
His ministry is also strengthening ties with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) in a bid to develop a strategic plan for the Nigerian cashew industry spanning the next 10 years.
The ministry in a statement said Nanono signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the USDA-West Africa PRO-Cashew Project to expand the value chain and create more job opportunities.
