Injustice to agriculture

THE EDITOR, Sir:

I am appalled that agriculture continues to be a subset of some other ministry. A portfolio as important as agriculture needs attention at the highest level.

Our food security is of paramount importance, and national development around agriculture goes a-begging. At the rate we are going, sooner or later, we will have to go hat in hand to our neighbours to get a meal.

Sad.
