Ministry of Food And Agriculture ( MOFA ) is to create
an environment for sustainable growth and development
in the Agriultural Sector that would include: |
| Provision of food security
Supply of raw materials for industry
Creation of employment
Reduction in poverty and the
creation of wealth
Greater contribution of the sector
to GDP

| Beyond these, agriculture is also
recognised to have a greater impact on poverty reduction than other sectors. Other roles are social
stabilisation, buffer during economic shocks, support to environmental sustainability, and cultural values
