PRESIDENCY DRAFTS DRY-SEASON FOOD FRAMEWORK FOR TINUBU

The Presidency is working on a framework aimed at improving food availability in Nigeria through the purchase of current harvests and increased dry-season farming.

The proposed initiative is expected to help address agricultural challenges by supporting the use of available produce while encouraging farmers to continue production beyond the rainy season.

Mopping up harvested crops could also help improve food supply management, while expanded dry-season farming may support more consistent production throughout the year.

However, further details on the framework, including its implementation plan, funding and the specific crops to be covered, have not been provided in the brief.
