Agriculture
remains the foundation of the Nigerian economy, providing employment for about 35% of Nigerians, despite the presence of oil in the country since 1958. It is also the main source of livelihood for the population.
As at June 2022, there were over 100 million farmers, over 82% of which are smallholders; the sector contributed over 24% in Q2 of 2022 (over 22% since 2005); it has a robust Research and Extension system.
The country has about 70.8 million hectares of agricultural land: distributed among arable land area of 34 million hectares, 6.5 million hectares for permanent crops, and 30.3 million hectares on meadows and pastures. Maize, cassava, cowpea corn and yam are the major crops among households. Generally, about 92% of farming households practise crop farming; 7.3% households in the south-south zone practise aquaculture, 69.3% in the northwest raise livestock.
The Agricultural Performance Surveys for 2015 to 2022 show that the Nigerian agricultural sector faces recurrent challenges of: limited access to land (average of 1.8 ha/farming household), very low level of irrigation development (less than 1% of cropped land under irrigation), limited adoption of research findings and technologies, high cost of farm inputs, poor access to credit, lack of collateral security by the farmers, inefficient input (especially fertilizer) procurement and distribution, insufficient storage facilities, poor access to markets, and more recently, effects of climate change.
