The FAO attributes the expected bumper crop to higher yields in major staples, maize (corn), rice, and wheat, which collectively account for over half of global caloric intake

The partnership comes as Olam Agri establishes a new 350,000 metric tonne soybean processing facility in Kwara State

Developed in collaboration with the Najd Agricultural Development Office under the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Water Resources, the project will offer a range of post-harvest services

Kenya’s high reliance on maize, a staple that is highly susceptible to aflatoxins, has worsened the problem, with detection and surveillance mechanisms remaining only marginally effective

This initiative aims to enhance the quality, safety, and competitiveness of maize production, a staple crop critical to the region’s food security and economic development.
