Maize is attacked by pests eg stalkborer, armyworms, ampides etc
maize is affected by deceases eg white leaf blight
Price fluctuations especially low prices discourage farmers. This is due to importation of cheap maize that flood the market killing the morale of farmers.
Inadequate capital by farmers to buy farm inputs eg fertilizers and high quality seeds
Unfavorable climatic conditions eg draught or frost.
Poor transport and communication eg poor roads
