    “We have signed agreements with some firms to boost potato production in Nigeria to meet local and foreign demands,’’ Okafor mumbled.

    He told that 280,000 registered growers in the Nigeria were into the cultivation and processing of potatoes. He expanded that, a lot of planters were into the cultivation of the product because of its financial and health potency.

    “Potato flour can be use to bake cake, bread and biscuits. Potato can also be use to make juice, puree, and chips, while the peels can be used to make animal feeds,’’ he announced.

    He implored to the Federal Government to strengthen actions in grasping the current security challenges to enable growers to go to their farms.
