Food Crash Effect On Farmers -By Ishaku Ishaya

A farmer depends solely on his farm product to provide food for his family in Nigeria where getting a job is akward some rural areas only farm for their needs because there’s no any other ways of income, instead of the government to appreciate famers it went ahead burying their tireless efforts without any sympathy because of this food crash many famers are affected as it’s their own business.

The farmers are depressed because of the recent food crash by the president Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, To a farmer, farming is his own business, farm is his own officer and hot sun is his own AC government should be considering their struggles before affirming any decision, due to the food crash the level of farming have reduced according what I observed in my community Sur Dhni community Bogoro, Bogoro LGA Bauchi State and other communities people are not planting many crops the way it used to be before.

To the government Nigeria needs a balance decision crashing farm products while fertilizer, and other relevant things used in farming is a selfish decision you can not favor some parts of the country and rubbish the others most especially the people of North because they farm almost More than the other geopolitical zones, Dear government officials if food must be crash then fertilizer and other farming tools should be crash like wise to balance everything between a farmer and a business man.

Moreover, back in the time a famer will take one bag of maize to the market and it will be enough for him to buy a bag of fertilizer and other things but in this administration you must take like three bags of maize to the market in order to buy just one bag of fertilizer this is obviously a backwardness in the country where is the democracy? Which is of the people, by the people and for the people.

Recommendation
Since food was crash then fertilizer and things used by farmers to clear or prepare their land before planting anything should be crash if not the level of farming will keep minimizing and will make the country’s economy bad to all the presidency, Senate and national assembly this is a serious challenge that needs to be handled before it escalate and harm our country Nigeria famers should be appreciated as they are working on two dimension they farm to feed their families and also feed the world remember today’s decision is tomorrow’s reality.
