Welcome to AyosifamHub! Today, we're diving deep into an issue that touches every plate, every pocket, and every family across Nigeria: climate change and its profound impact on our incredible smallholder farmers.

This situation is counter-intuitive. As you rightly point out, the costs of agricultural inputs—fertilizer, seeds, tractor services, and even transport—remain stubbornly high or have continued to rise. So, why the lower prices in...
