Nigeria’s agricultural sector experienced a 3.79% growth in Q3 2025, contributing N30.5 trillion to the GDP, largely due to increased investor confidence. Stakeholders stress that timely policy implementation, fair market conditions, and sustained investment are essential to maintain this positive trend.
Despite the growth, farmers like Mohammed Magaji of AFAN reported selling produce below cost, stating, “That is an unfair price, and it is not sustainable.” Experts urge the government to recapitalize the Bank of Agriculture and introduce a “Buyer of Last Resort” scheme to support farmers.
