What kind of attention did the agricultural sector receive from the state government when you were in service? The government at all levels needs to be more serious in the areas of a good policy to promote agriculture, the provision of subsidies on inputs , and the provision of funds for research institutes for improved crop yields. They should reduce the dependence on foreign donor agencies, harmonise the mandates of research institutes, provide adequate funds for agricultural research institutes, and address the neglect of small-scale farmers, too.
