•
Productivity in major crops lags neighboring states
due to limited employment of best practices (e.g.,
tractors, crop rotation)
Farmers lack bargaining power and lose significant
margin to offtakers, especially for perishable crops
• Poor roads and transport options limit the ability to
bring crops to markets outside the state
• Lack of steady quality supply limits interest by
processors and new potential markets (e.g., Shoprite
in Lagos)
