Following this, the federal government recently announced that it will implement a 150-day Duty-Free Import Window for critical staples such as maize, wheat, beans and rice. This initiative is aimed at stabilizing food prices and ensuring supply amidst domestic production challenges.
To what extent will this latest measure alongside other measures announce alleviate the hunger crisis?
