A Sustainable Arable Crop Production Pattern

The potential of the agriculture sector in Nigeria is huge. The country has a substantial base to build upon: its natural assets including land (39.6 m hectares of arable land, of which 60% is under cultivation), climate and rainfall, its coastal areas, its history as an agrarian economy. In Nigeria, the agriculture sector is ripe for market-led growth, from processing to transportation to trade. With a growing population and increased demand, the sector has enormous potential and already plays a key role in food security in both West and Central Africa.
