Objectives about maize production.

1. Increase maize yield per acre by implementing best agricultural practices such as proper soil preparation, timely planting, and effective pest and disease management.

2. Improve maize quality by using high-quality seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides to ensure a higher market value for the crop.

3. Enhance maize production sustainability by promoting conservation agriculture techniques, such as minimum tillage and crop rotation, to preserve soil health and fertility.

4. Increase farmer knowledge and skills through training programs and extension services on modern maize production techniques and technologies.

5. Promote the adoption of climate-smart agricultural practices in maize production to mitigate the impact of climate change on crop yields.

6. Encourage the use of efficient irrigation systems and water management practices to optimize water use efficiency in maize cultivation.

7. Enhance market access for maize farmers by facilitating linkages with buyers, processors, and exporters to ensure a fair price for their produce.

8. Promote diversification in maize production by encouraging the cultivation of different maize varieties suited to different agro-climatic conditions and market demands.

9. Support smallholder farmers in accessing credit, inputs, and other resources necessary for successful maize production.

10. Monitor and evaluate maize production activities to assess progress towards achieving production targets and identify areas for improvement.
