He said the association had also empowered 2000 wheat farmers across Kano, Jigawa, Sokoto, Kebbi, Kaduna, Bauchi and Gombe states with inputs loan under its direct out grower programme.

He added that the number would increase to 5000 by next season, stressing that the association was working closely with six certified seed companies for the production of wet and dry season wheat.

Samaila reiterated the commitment of the association to provide market for wheat farmers in Nigeria.

“We are expanding our procurement as an industry across the wheat producing states, through additional aggregation staff and warehouse capacity.

“We are establishing procurement centres across 15 Northern states to uptake all wheat grains produced in the country, ” he said

In his remarks, the representative of the Commissioner for Agriculture, Kaduna state, Malam Ibrahim Hussaini, said that the state has revived wheat production in Zaria, Igabi and Kubau and the farms were doing very well.
