Ben Agama, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Agricultural and Natural Resources, representing the Delta State Governor spoke. Thank you guys for joining us, food security. You know cassava is a very dynamic crop so we hope to boost the production of cassava. We hope to use cassava for the production of bio-ethanol. We can also use cassava in various industries. We know that it will be possible because there is now a will. We desire that agriculture, which is the source of food for every human being, is going to have a boost because one of the things that make agriculture unattractive is when you look at the cassava farmer in the village. One has this apathy, how can they survive? But with this bio-fuel coming out of cassava, it means that there will be more demand for cassava products. Phytonol is a substance that bonds with little or no, it's both smokeless and therefore it will definitely have an impact on the ravages posed by climate change dynamics. So that is work-leafed, the value chain will create employment and then the diversification of the economy. Today the economy of Brazil is 40% driven by bio-fuel, by bio-fuel, we are all panicking just because of the increase of the PMS and now people are looking at what, CNG, CNG, CNG vehicles, why don't we talk of bio-ethanol vehicles, it's a major source of transportation.
