The Federal Government has approved a 150-day duty-free window to allow the importation of maize, husked brown rice,
and wheat as part of measures to combat food inflation in the country.
With this initiative, food security is expected to improve in the next 180 days through the granting of the waiver for the above-named food items. Kyari also noted that the ministry, in the next two weeks, would collaborate with Presidential Food Systems Coordinating Unit and EMT to finalise the implementation framework for the policy initiatives.
He said banditry had not only affected cattle-rearing negatively but also affected agricultural production in general, adding that crop farming and animal rearing had been devastated.
