The Minister of Finance has emphasized the critical need for Nigerians to increase local food production. “Nigerians need to grow, produce, and harvest their own foods. If they do that, inflation will come down, and exchange rates will stabilize,” stated the Minister.
This call to action highlights the potential economic benefits of self-sufficiency in food production. By reducing reliance on imported goods, Nigeria can mitigate the impact of global market fluctuations on local prices. Increased local production can also bolster the economy, create jobs, and improve food security.
