He said, “The prevalence of many varieties and cultivars was identified as the major problem leading to low sorghum productivity resulting in the supply shortfall, the varieties in most cases are not what are needed by our food industries, this necessitated the need to streamline the existing varieties in order to meet our food and industrial needs.

To achieve the above objective, the Ministry set up the Sorghum Technical Committee to streamline the existing varieties and find other ways of improving productivity and quality of sorghum produce”.
