Almost 40 percent of our food goes to waste after cultivation. So, food security and nutrition security makes agricbusiness important – Obasanjo
“A friend of mine said to me, you must be a mad man. I asked him what he meant, and he said If I was not a mad man I would not have gone into agriculture. So, I am a mad man for agriculture. When it has to do with agriculture, you can be sure that when you call me, I will answer.
“Food security starts with availability. We must be able to produce enough. Then there is affordability. We must be able to get everybody who needs food to be able to get the food that they need. Then there is accessibility. We must get food to where it is needed.
“Almost 40 percent of our food goes to waste after cultivation. So, food security and nutrition security makes agricbusiness important”.
