“There is a point now to help the farmers, because prices have come below, in some cases, their costs, and that is being addressed very, very urgently, in order to ensure that we encourage continued investment in food production,” the minister said.

American rapper A$AP Rocky has revealed that his mom had always wanted him to be with Rihanna, disclosing that she once advised when he was in a relationship with another woman to end it and date the Barbadian singer instead.
In an interview with The New York Time, Rocky shared that then he was just friends with Rihanna and didn’t want more with her.
He said he was grateful he didn’t rush things back then to be with Rihanna because he wasn’t ready for commitment and Rihanna was also not ready for family life.
“Rihanna has always been my boo. I always f*cked with her. My mother used to say, ‘I know you like this girl that you are with right now, but I want you with Riri.’
“And I would tell her that Rihanna is just a friend. But my mother would insisted that Rihanna is a real one and that I should go for her. I’m telling you, mothers know best.
“However, I am thankful that my relationship with Rihanna started when it did. Because at anytime prior to that, I don’t think I was ready for something like that. I don’t think she was, either,” he said.
A$AP Rocky and Rihanna became close after he joined her Diamond Tour in 2013.
Rumours of their romance first started shortly after Rihanna split from billionaire boyfriend Hassan Jameel in January 2020, after three years together.
Rocky previously dated Kendall Jenner in 2016; their relationship ended in 2017.
Rihanna and Rocky welcomed their first child together in 2022, second in 2023, and third in 2025.

Former Big Brother Naija reality star Adekunle Olopade has reacted to the Super Eagles’ semi-final defeat against Morocco, shifting responsibility from the players to the match officials.
In a post on X, Adekunle argued that Nigeria was unfairly denied a victory due to questionable decisions by Ghanaian referee Daniel Laryea.
He highlighted several controversial calls, including a yellow card for Calvin Bassey and fouls against Nigerian players that were ignored.
Olopade praised the Super Eagles’ overall performance, emphasizing that they dominated play and created numerous scoring opportunities.
He encouraged fans to look at the full match rather than focusing solely on the penalty shootout and criticized CAF for remaining silent on the officiating issues.
He wrote: “While Chukwueze’s performance was absolutely terrible, we simply cannot reduce the entire match to just a penalty shoot out.
“First of all, the game wasn’t even supposed to get to penalties. If you didn’t watch the match from start to finish, please don’t involve yourself in this. Nigeria had so many chances, yes it was a tough game but we had the upper hand.”
“The Super Eagles player were ready. Probably even the best form they’ve all been in a while and we were ready. The country was ready.
“But Daniel Laryea with his intentional and terrible officiating robbed us of that match. The ref was whistle-happy, Calvin Bassey did not deserve the yellow card, he stopped a lot of our plays that killed the momentum, ignored Morocco’s one too many fouls on the Nigerian players, and it was clear to see that they played favoritism to the host country.
“This isn’t about country or banter, maybe it influenced his decisions but there were too many wrong calls on the Super Eagles part and CAF shouldn’t be quiet about it.
“Yesterday’s match felt like it was Nigeria against the whole of Africa and sentiments aside, Nigeria was robbed off the win.”
