FERTILISER IN LIMBO

59

A truck load of fertiliser is involved in a dispute. The truck has a Senegalese number plate and is carrying fertilizer. The authorities are now investigating the source of the fertilizer and its destination.

Foroyaa is conducting investigation into the matter and had contacted the National Food Security Processing and Marketing Corporation (NFSPMC) (formerly GGC) for an answer. The paper is reliably informed by GGC officials that it is conducting its own investigation.

One of the key challenges faced by farmers is access to fertilizer at affordable prices. Hence one would expect maximum effort to be done to make fertilizer available to the people.

This is a developing story and Foroyaa will give the details as they come.
