What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Nigeria is expanding the release of improved rice varieties across Africa to address rising demand and narrow the continent’s rice supply gap. These varieties, such as FARO 73 and SG Rice 1, are biofortified and zinc-enriched. Separately, in Katsina State, 100,800 bags of fertilizer are being distributed to 25,200 smallholder farmers under the Renewed Hope Farm Input Support Programme.
