Ekiti to Flag Off Distribution of Subsidised Agrochemicals to Farmers Monday.

The Ekiti State Government says it will commence distribution of subsidised agrochemicals to farmers across the state on Monday as part of efforts to boost agricultural productivity and strengthen food security.

The Commissioner for Agriculture and Food Security, Mr Ebenezer Boluwade, disclosed this in a statement on Friday in Ado-Ekiti.

Boluwade said the flag-off ceremony would be held at 10 a.m. on July 20 at the Fadama Office, New Secretariat, Ado-Ekiti.

He said the initiative was aimed at reducing production costs for farmers while improving agricultural output across the state.

According to him, the programme underscores the commitment of Gov. Biodun Oyebanji's administration to supporting farmers and promoting sustainable agricultural development.

The commissioner invited farmers, agricultural stakeholders and members of the public to attend the ceremony.
