Many farmers who collected loans from various agricultural intervention packages in the country for this year’s farming circle have been thrown into a dilemma on how to repay such loans as a result of devastating floods that washed away their farms. Most of the farmers across the country suffered severe losses, with many unable to salvage anything from their fields, Daily Trust reports.
There are fears among stakeholders in the rice value chain that the flooding currently wreaking havoc on rice farms in producing areas will affect harvest in this year’s rain-fed circle. According to Daily Trust, thousands of hectares of rice farms in Taraba, Jigawa, Kano, Benue, Niger, Kogi, Kebbi, among other producing states up North, have been reportedly washed away. In the affected states, some of the farms were either at maturing stage or nearing the stage when the waters washed them away.
