The federal government, in collaboration with the Cross River State Government, has subsidised inputs for 500 farmers to produce 500 metric tonnes of wheat in the Obudu Local Government Area of the state.
The Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, Abubakar Kyari, disclosed this during the input distribution to the farmers in Obudu on Saturday.
Mr Kyari said that both governments decided to subsidise the inputs by paying 75 and 25 per cent, respectively, to spare the farmers the pain of sourcing funds.
