Nigeria faces several challenges in agroproduction, including:
- Poverty: Many farmers lack the financial resources to invest in modern farming techniques and equipment.
- Access to Markets: Poor infrastructure and limited access to markets hinder the efficient distribution of agricultural products.
- Climate Change: Unpredictable weather patterns, droughts, and floods negatively impact crop yields.
- Land Ownership Issues: Disputes and unclear land ownership rights discourage investment in agriculture.
- Pests and Diseases: Outbreaks of pests and diseases pose a significant threat to crops.
- Post-Harvest Losses: Inadequate storage facilities and poor handling practices lead to significant post-harvest losses.
Addressing these challenges requires a combination of investment, innovation, and policy adjustments to support sustainable agricultural development in Nigeria.
