The main goal of the 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
  • Generation of foreign exchange earnings.
  • 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 associated with farming..
