“Therefore, at this time we cannot afford a situation where our farmers do not go to farm and at the end of the day we are faced with shortage in our country.

“So, I appeal to all the farmers in the country to continue to be more and more dedicated to their respective farmlands in order to address such ugly situation.

“Moreover, food security is very important, that is why the government procures fertilisers annually and sell them at subsidised rates to the farmers.

“We hope that they will judiciously utilise the fertiliser, farm inputs and implements that has been provided to ensure adequate production for the country’s consumption,” he said.
