All farmers organization in Taraba State has called on the state government to subsidize farm inputs
The call was made by the chairman of the organization, Mr. Biam  Maman, during an interview in Jalingo.
He said the call  became  necessary in view of high cost of farm inputs such as fertilizer, pest chemicals and the cost of hiring tractors.
He said most farmers especially small scale farmers could not  afford to buy  the inputs, a development, he said, will reduce crop production in the state.
