It is the high time we reform our policy on agriculture if we are to curb the ever growing food shortage.a systems approach addressing public extension,markets,cost of production,farm economics etc is needed as opposed to just subsidy @ephraimnjegafan
I have done a chart of maize production over the last 20 years. You will notice the production patterns follow the climatic conditions prevailing. When the rains are good. 🧵
