A young commercial farmer has called on government to motivate the youth to invest in agriculture with incentive that will attract them to sustain their farms.
The farmer, Mr Mohammed Awal Mahmud, the CEO of MM-Awal Company Limited said agriculture is a very lucrative venture which the government need to encourage the youth to embrace in order to be gainfully employed and contribute to national food self-sufficiency and for export to garner foreign exchange.
“We need guidance that can motivate the youth,” Mr Mahmud Mohammed Awal said.
