Food Security: Research firm tasks Nigeria on technology, agro-credit

By Ijeoma Olorunfemi

A research and advisory firm, Veriv Africa, has urged Nigeria to embrace new farming technologies, overhaul its agricultural credit system and address farmer-herder clashes to boost its food security aspirations.

This is contained in Veriv Africa, a data-driven and intelligence analysis firm’s food price baseline survey report, 2025.

The document analysed price dynamics in six key crop value chains across the country and made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Tuesday.

The crops and their areas of abundance are cocoa in Ondo State, Sesame and beans, Kano, rice and corn, Niger, tomato, Kaduna and yam, in Benue.

The study, which was conducted in February, engaged 543 smallholder farmers.

The firm highlighted the importance of technology in farming and post-farming activities.

It said private sector investment demonstrated the potential of modern processing techniques to boost yields and incomes and recommended the revival of Staple Crop Processing Zones.

The zones are the initiative of the African Development Bank.

They seek to transform agriculture by establishing processing hubs in areas where crops are produced, focusing on value addition and reducing reliance on imports.

Some of them are located in Akwa Ibom, Edo and Osun.

The findings also offered critical insights into farmer demographics, sentiments, challenges, and priorities, laying the groundwork for data-driven decision-making and policy formulation.

“The survey on farmer demographics and challenges revealed that 84 per cent of surveyed farmers operate on small landholdings of one to four acres, predominantly relying on family labour.

“Access to finance remains a significant hurdle, with 60 per cent funding their farming activities through personal savings and only 12 per cent accessing formal credit.

“The most pressing challenges identified by farmers are lack of finance 54 per cent, insecurity 21 per cent and post-harvest losses 12 per cent,” it said.

The survey also documented a baseline for crop prices across the surveyed regions, providing a snapshot of market conditions at the time of data collection.

“The recorded prices are cocoa at ₦110,000 per 50kg bag, sesame at ₦102,305.19 per 50kg bag, farm-priced un-milled rice at ₦43,750 per 50kg bag.

“Yam at ₦39,423.08 per 50-tuber group, corn at ₦36,309.52 per 50kg bag, and tomato at ₦12,500 per 50kg basket and the figures offer insight into the challenges and concerns raised by the farmers,’’ it said.

It recommended immediate and decisive action to address farmer-herder conflicts and rural kidnappings, which posed a significant threat to farming activities and livelihoods.

“There is a need to prioritise investments in essential rural infrastructure such as roads, irrigation systems, electricity supply and storage facilities through public-private partnerships to reduce post-harvest losses and improve market access.

“A comprehensive overhaul of the agricultural credit system is necessary to dismantle barriers related to collateral and residency, enabling smallholder farmers to access much-needed financial resources,’’ it said.

The report also highlighted the success of private-sector investments in produce such as tomatoes.  (NAN)

NALDA pledges support for displaced farmers

By Felicia Imohimi

The National Agricultural Land Development Authority (NALDA) has pledged to help farmers displaced by farmer-herder conflicts and land encroachment regain their livelihoods and improve food security.

The Executive Secretary of NALDA, Cornelius Adebayo, made this commitment during an interactive session with journalists on Tuesday in Abuja.

He stated that the initiative would be achieved through the organisation’s project tagged ‘Renewed Hope Restoration’.

Adebayo revealed that over 3.5 million farmers have been displaced across the country as a result of conflicts, encroachment, and other security challenges.

He explained that, through the project, farmers would be grouped into clusters and provided with the necessary inputs, technologies, and support to boost production and increase their income.

“To address recurring farmer-herder conflicts, land encroachment, and security challenges, NALDA is introducing the Renewed Hope Farm Settlements, where smallholder farmers will be clustered in designated areas.

“These settlements will provide farmers with essential inputs, security, and training, while also reducing logistics and monitoring costs.

“By clustering farmers, we ensure their protection, enhance monitoring, and create a more structured agricultural system.   

“Our role at NALDA is not to cultivate but to facilitate an environment where agriculture thrives as a profitable business.

“The goal of the restoration project is to enable displaced individuals to thrive, not just survive.

“This initiative is expected to have a positive impact on the country’s food security and economy,” he said.

He added that the project could have a lasting impact on those affected by lowering production costs.

Adebayo, who identified the organisation’s main projects as four in total, said they were designed to boost food and aquaculture production, promote self-sufficiency, and reduce import costs.

He listed other projects, including greenhouse farming and the Aqua Hopeinitiative, among others.

The executive secretary also highlighted Nigeria’s deficit in food and fish supply.

“We are still importing over a million tonnes of fish annually while producing less than 300,000 tonnes.

“We aim to encourage women and youth in coastal and riverine areas to engage in aquaculture, particularly tilapia and catfish farming.

“NALDA will develop fish clusters featuring earth ponds, cage farms, processing centres, packaging hubs, and cold storage facilities.

“This model will create hundreds of entrepreneurs and enhance Nigeria’s capacity for fish export, reducing reliance on imported tilapia.

“Bayelsa and Akwa Ibom have limited arable land, and NALDA will expand its focus on aquaculture in those states”. (NAN)

NGO urges action to transform Nigeria’s food system

By Felicia Imohimi

One Acre Fund (OAF), an international NGO, has called for urgent action from the government, agricultural stakeholders, financial institutions, development partners, and civil society organisations to ensure food system transformation in Nigeria.

Adetola Adegbite, OAF Nigeria Country Director, made the call at the National Stakeholders’ Dialogue on Thursday in Abuja, themed “Achieving Food Security in Nigeria: Bridging the Gap”.

Adegbite stressed that achieving food security required collective commitment and action, describing collaboration as key to transforming the country’s food system.

He expressed concern over Nigeria’s growing food security challenges, driven by climate change, economic instability, limited access to quality agricultural inputs, and market constraints for smallholder farmers.

“With over 40 per cent of the population living below the poverty line and nearly 20 per cent of children under five suffering from chronic malnutrition, based on the 2020 World Bank report, urgent action is needed to build resilient food systems that support both farmers and consumers.

“Nigeria is a nation of 200 million or 220 million people, with smallholder farmers producing nearly 80 per cent of our food supply, yet we face serious food security challenges.

“Good leadership, strong partnerships, and targeted investment will change this trajectory to bridge the gaps with smart solutions.

“We believe that smallholder farmers, who form the backbone of our food system, are key contributors to transforming agriculture in Nigeria.

“By working together to strengthen our agricultural foundation, improving soil health, financing, market access, and value chains, we can build resilience, improve livelihoods through agronomy, and secure the economy of our nation,” he said.

Adegbite stated that the dialogue aimed to build a sustainable and resilient food system for future generations.

He noted that a farmer’s greatest strength was not just the seeds he planted but the health of the soil, emphasising that partnerships provide the foundation farmers need to thrive.

He further stated that the dialogue offered an opportunity to share insights and develop practical solutions for achieving food security in Nigeria.

Adegbite stressed that collective action from government agencies, agribusinesses, financial institutions, development partners, and civil society was essential in building an inclusive, resilient, and sustainable agricultural system.

He said the dialogue aimed to address food security challenges, highlight solutions for smallholder farmers, and promote collaboration across sectors.

“The objective is also to discuss climate adaptation strategies and sustainable farming practices that enhance resilience and food production.

“To shape policy recommendations that strengthen the agricultural sector and improve smallholder farmers’ access to inputs, finance, and markets,” he said.

Adegbite said the theme of the dialogue challenged all stakeholders to address the disconnect in the country’s food system.

“The gap between policies and implementation, how do we ensure government policies effectively support smallholder farmers?

“How do we address the gap between farmers and the market, improve supply chains, reduce post-harvest losses, and channel resources to areas where they are needed?”

Mr Emmanuel Bamgboye, Field Operations/Programme Lead at OAF Nigeria, stated that the dialogue was an opportunity for stakeholders to unite in addressing the challenge of achieving sustainable and inclusive food security.

In his presentation, “One Acre Fund’s Programmes in Nigeria: Contributing to Food Security”, Bamgboye identified achieving sustainable and inclusive food security as one of Nigeria’s most urgent issues.

He explained that the organisation envisions farmers earning more through larger harvests, improved market access, fair prices, and minimised post-harvest losses.

According to him, when farmers thrive, families eat better, children receive education, and rural communities flourish.

“To achieve these and many more in transforming Nigeria’s food security, we must scale up agricultural innovations that enhance productivity and foster climate resilience.

“Revise policies that grant smallholders better access to finance, land, and extension services.

“Invest in infrastructure and value chains so farmers can efficiently store and market their harvests.

“Empower women and youth, the foundational pillars of tomorrow’s agricultural sector”. (NAN)

NGO to host national dialogue on food security

By Felicia Imohimi

One Acre Fund, an NGO, has announced that it will host a national dialogue on food security to address critical challenges in Nigeria’s agricultural sector.

Adetola Adegbite, the Country Director of the organisation, made this known in a statement on Monday in Abuja ahead of the programme, scheduled for March 20.

Adegbite stated that the dialogue aims to drive collaborative solutions towards a more food-secure future for the population.

He explained that the event, themed “Achieving Food Security in Nigeria: Bridging the Gap”, will bring together key actors across the agricultural value chain, including government agencies, private sector leaders, development partners, and civil society organisations.

The country director, who identified smallholder farmers as the backbone of the nation’s food system, however, stressed that systemic challenges continue to limit their productivity and resilience.

“The National Stakeholders Dialogue presents an opportunity to bring all stakeholders to the table to drive real change through innovative policies, strategic investments, and knowledge-sharing.

“Together, we can bridge the gaps and work towards a more food-secure Nigeria.

“Nigeria’s food security landscape faces pressing challenges, including climate change, limited access to quality inputs, weak extension services, market barriers, and financial constraints for smallholder farmers.

“The dialogue will serve as a platform for in-depth discussions on these issues, with the goal of fostering strategic partnerships and policy recommendations to enhance agricultural resilience and productivity,” he said.

Adegbite added that the dialogue will feature two high-impact panel discussions, including “State of the Nation – Challenges of Food Security and Climate Change in Nigeria”.

According to him, experts will assess the current food security situation, climate adaptation strategies, and the key policy and investment gaps that require urgent attention.

“One Acre Fund is an NGO supporting smallholder farmers in rural sub-Saharan Africa to build resilient communities by providing them with agricultural resources, financing, and training, enabling them to grow more food and achieve prosperity”. (NAN)

Nigeria close to achieving food security – Minister

 Food

By Ibrahim Bello

The Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, Sen. Abubakar Kyari, has reaffirmed the unwavering commitment of President Bola Tinubu to ensuring that every Nigerian citizen has unfettered access to abundant and nutritious food.

Kyari made this known at the launch of 2025 dry season farming and distribution of Ramadan Palliatives to people of Kebbi by Gov. Nasir Idris in Birnin Kebbi.

“President Tinubu has consistently provided conducive environment and empowerment to farmers to increase yields towards the attainment of food security which is already on the horizon.

“The Federal Government will continue to work together with states and local government councils to bring prosperity through agricultural production.

“I commend the initiative of our amiable and esteemed Kebbi Governor, Nasir Idris, for placing premium on developing the agricultural sector which witnessed bumper harvests and reduction of food prices.

“The emphasis attached to dry season farming is a portent vehicle for food security,” the minister said.

Kyari expressed delight over the distribution of thousands of water pumping machines, sprayers and power tillers as well as thousands of litres of herbicides, pesticides and organic fertilisers by the present administration.

Launching the distribution exercise, Gov. Idris, said the government was aware of the challenges of dry season farming by farmers that necessitated his administration to provide them with the required agricultural inputs to reduce hardship in cultivation.

“Last year, I launched the KADAGE programme in tandem with the policy of Tinubu administration to revolutionise the agricultural sector towards food sufficiency and improve the wellbeing of farmers and youths.

“The agricultural landscape has witnessed positive changes in Kebbi with the distribution of free fertilisers to farmers, provision of inputs including improved rice seeds as well as pests control that destroy crops, especially millet and rice.

“My administration is fully aware that agriculture is the major platform for economic development of our nation.

“I am thankful to President Tinubu, the Minister of Agriculture and the National Council on Agriculture, for approving the use of residual moisture for Agricultural production in Kebbi for 15,000 farmers affected by flooding last year to mitigate losses incurred,” he said.

On Ramadan Palliatives, Idris, announced that all segments of the society had been considered for allocation.

“Civil Servants, teachers, local government staff, House of Assembly, NLC/TUC, members of the executive council, security services, traditional institutions, army widows, police widows, boards and agencies as well as residents of all the polling units in the state are beneficiaries.

“Commissioners and other top government officials involved in the distribution have been taken care of.

“No commissioner, Adviser or any political appointee should touch anything out of these palliative items.

“Some commissioners or otherwise are reported to be saying that, they are not benefitting from office, but that’s untrue; all rights and privileges of government functionaries are well protected by my administration.

“Whoever feels that he’s not getting enough, should resign from his/her position and vacate the office,” the governor said.

Earlier, the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Alhaji Yakubu Bala-Tafida, warned that security agencies had been empowered to arrest any person selling off the agricultural items provided to them.

The state Commissioner for Agriculture, Alhaji Shehu Ma’azu, recalled that the state started its dry season farming’s drive, sustained and intensified during the tenure of former Governors Adamu Aleiro, Sa’idu Dakingari, Sen. Atiku Bagudu respectively.

“Kebbi is indeed a hub for agriculture, and agricultural bright  landscape of the country by sustaining and intensifying the initiative by Gov. Idris-led administration,” he said.

Muazu urged the beneficiaries to utilise the gesture to cushion the effects of challenges faced during Ramadan as well as dry season farming in the state. (NAN)
