Agriculture Industry Issues and Challenges
In Nigeria more attention is
channeled toward primary
production and little to
manufacturing into finished goods
creating a poor value-chain
Relative to the size of the
population agricultural
productivity in Nigeria is
extremely low and has to
import for the difference
Outdated system of
agriculture such as hoes
and cutlass and inadequate
facilities such as good road
and good water is crippling
the agricultural sector
Common issues
associated with
agriculture in
Nigeria
In Nigeria, 38.2 percent of
GHG emissions came from
the land-use change and
forestry sector, which
contributed 32.6 percent, to
GHG emission.
All other factors crippling
agriculture are also the
reasons people don't invest
in it. The desire for quick
return on investment and
security of investment also
contribute
Violent conflicts such as the
Fulani Herdsmen conflict
and argument over land
ownership in the country can
discourage investment
Resource shortages (land,
water, seeds) reduction in
the amount of grazeable
land, desertification in the
north as well as fertile soil
Population growth & food
insecurity. Nigeria has the
highest people living in
extreme poverty in the world.
The inability to feed it self is
a big and growing concern
