According to Bett, there are 21 million bags of maize in national reserves and from farmers.

"Coupled with other grains like beans, rice, this can take us upt o to June if the current situation remains constant. But we are closely monitoring," said Bett.

He further allayed fears that the maize held by the national serials board was unfit for human consumption.

"Whatever was not good was sold to animal feed millers," said Bett while addressing the press on Tuesday.

Bett's statement comes at a time when drought is biting different parts of the country.
