He stated that the ministry would support the affected farmers by seeking solutions to prevent future outbreak through investment in research and development spearheaded by the National Root Crops Research Institute and improve the agricultural extension services.


The Minister further revealed that there is a provision of N1.6 Billion Naira recovery package through the National Agriculture Development Fund (NADFund) and establishment of 20 hectares site for clean ginger seed cultivation.

The Minister urged the committee to investigate, apply adequate preventive and corrective measures to address the epidemic as well as reinvigorate ginger value chain.
