Kalgo assured that very soon, a stakeholders’ meeting would be convened to mobilise farmers to partake in castor production in the next farming season.
He also disclosed that a capacity-building workshop for castor farmers was being worked out in collaboration with relevant government agencies and commodity promoters for sustainable production and marketing.
