The Government aims to achieve food self- sufficiency and reduce imports through increased production and productivity of all staple food crops including stepping up production of oil seed crops such as sunflower and sesame. The March-April-May 2023 rainy season is predicted to be normal. We thank God for that. We intend to maximise our production potential for the rain-dependent-grain producing areas.
