8. Conclusion Challenges facing the Department are many and varied.
- High global including local demand for food and agriculture produce- Low global and especially local productions as against the high demands- Bio-fuels taking up reserves of crops like maize- Changing climate
However, we are confident that— with the policies, strategies and programmes that we have developed and will be vigorously implemented - we will ultimately succeed in realising our vision of a united and prosperous agricultural sector.
