The programme will be implemented through a network of localised agro-dealers and relevant value chain actors. Devolution CS Eugene Wamalwa, also present during the launch, noted that food production is poised to double with the rollout of the new venture. “We are going to see the doubling of rice production in Ahero and South West Kano. We will, as we do it in Mwea, also increase rice production in this area. "Our focus in this pilot was the rice value chain in the wards of Ombeyi and East Kano Wawidhi," he said.
