Adams, on Friday, said such allocation would make a huge impact on sustainable food production in the region.
He expressed that the south-west consumes more than N8 billion worth of food and dairy products daily.
He said the recent food crisis was a clarion call to the south-west stakeholders, including security groups to provide the necessary security for farmers in order to produce enough agricultural produce.
