A programme manager with the Abia State Agricultural Development Programme (ADP), Chief Israel Amanze, has warned that food insufficiency may continue to

He said the farmers equally need to engage in use of improved seeds, stems, modern inputs and implements as well as factor-in the services of agriculture research institutes and extension services by similar organisations.“On our part, we have been doing enough to provide farmers in the state all the services and advice they require to succeed and the results have been both rewarding and encouraging,” Amanze said.
