How does the transformation affect NCPB restructuring and SFR?

NCPB is playing a central role in implementing government policy on food security through maintenance of the national food reserves and in the implementation of market interventions aimed at providing farmers with a market outlet and cushioning consumers from high maize prices. The transformation of NCPB and the restructuring of SFR will promote agricultural marketing in the country by entrenching the Warehouse Receipting System (WRS) and Commodity Exchange programmes and implementing the food balance sheet.
