Kwara government crashes maize price for poultry, fish farmers 

Kwara state government has begun distribution of maize at 44.5% of market value to different stakeholders in the poultry and fishery (feed mill) sectors.

The government sells a bag of 50kg maize at N8,000 instead of the N18,000 market price for the same quantity to bring relief to the  farmers.

The maize is being given to the poultry farmers through the Kwara state Palliative Committee headed by former Commissioner of Police, Ebunoluwa Rotimi Adelesi.

A statement made available to journalists in Ilorin Wednesday by Dr. Saudat Abdulbaqi and Hajia Binta Mora on behalf of the palliatives  committee stated the discount “is aimed at reducing the challenges faced by the farmers in producing feeds for their livestock.”
