Description |
This publication provides a variety of statistics on the agricultural sector in Nigeria for reference period. Nigeria's agricultural sector contributes to a significant part of the country's GDP. In 2021 it contributed about 26 percent of total GDP. With the agriculture sector being a key in supporting the Nigeria economy, these statistics offer an essential numerical representation of realities within the country and provide an important basis for evidence-based policy making.
The statistics available within this report, provide useful information on agricultural households and their activities related to crops, livestock and fisheries. Additionally, this report contains valuable statistics on communities throughout Nigeria and their agricultural activities, experiences with disasters and shocks, environmental concerns, infrastructure, resource management, land prices and tenure, and agricultural labour. This survey along with an ongoing annual effort will help to monitor and measure progress towards key agricultural sector indicators, including the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and the Comprehensive African Agriculture Development Program (CAADP) indicators.
This report, along with future reports to be produced as outputs from Nigeria's National Agricultural Sample Census, will be used for national agricultural planning, implementation and policy intervention, for the purpose of improving the agricultural sector through increasing productivity and improving farmers livelihood.
We are grateful to the various agencies and establishments who cooperated in the conduct of this program and the development of this report. |
