Increased Wheat Productivity in the Gezira Scheme
The Governor of the Gezira Scheme, Ibrahim Mustafa, confirmed an increase in wheat productivity within the Scheme. He pointed out that the rise in average wheat production was the result of combined efforts by the state, led by the President of the Sovereignty Council, General Ibrahim Jaber, the Ministers of Finance and Agriculture, and the Governor of Gezira State.
The project’s governor also affirmed that the full dues for wheat seed payments had been disbursed to farmers after the completion of the harvesting operations.
