The initiative is designed to boost food security across the state by promoting improved agricultural practices, strengthening agricultural value chains, and expanding access to safe, nutritious, and affordable food for residents.

Through this framework, the state aims to drive sustainable development, build economic resilience, and improve livelihoods, particularly for farmers, agribusiness operators, and rural communities.
The steering committee is expected to provide strategic direction, coordination, and oversight for policies and programmes that will transform the state’s food system, enhance productivity, reduce post-harvest losses, and ensure long-term sustainability.
With the inauguration of the DTSSCFSTP, the Delta State Government has reaffirmed its commitment to agricultural transformation as a key pillar of economic growth and social wellbeing, positioning the state to better address food security challenges and support inclusive development for all Deltans.
