ABSTRACT
Nigeria ranks
fifty fifth worldwide and first in Africa in farm output. Agriculture has
suffered from years of mismanagement. inconsistent and poorly conceived
government policies and the lack of basic infrastructure and necessary support.
Still. the sector accounts for over 26.8% of GOP and two-thirds of employment.
Nigeria is no longer a major exporter of agricultural produce. Import
constraints lithit the availability of many agricultural and food processing
inputs. The agricultural sector has extremely low productivity. deriving from
reliance on antiquated methods. Although overall agricultural production rose
by 28 percent during the 1990s, per capita output rose by only 8.5 percent
during the same decade. Agriculture has failed to keep pace with Nigeria's
rapid population growth, so that the country. which once exported food, now
relies on imports to sustain itself.
