Farmers across the country have called on the government to put an end to the alleged partisan distribution of farming inputs under state-supported schemes.
Speaking on the issue, some farmers emphasized the need for an inclusive approach to ensure that all beneficiaries, regardless of political affiliation, gain access to the resources critical for agricultural success.
The farmers stressed that equal access to farming inputs, such as fertilizers, seeds, and equipment, would help improve productivity and food security in the country. They urged authorities to prioritize transparency and fairness in the distribution process, warning that favoritism undermines trust and jeopardizes national agricultural goals.
Agricultural experts have echoed these sentiments, stating that equitable distribution of inputs is vital to empowering farmers and achieving a sustainable farming sector.
Government officials are yet to respond to the farmers’ concerns.
