Convert losses into marketable food
These figures describe the proposed programme and its ambitions, not completed achievements. Production-cycle targets will vary by crop, location, climate and operating conditions.
Develop reliable power solutions using appropriate combinations of solar, biomass, gas and wind resources. Support irrigation, small and medium-scale processing, drying, refrigeration, cold storage and other essential agro-industrial operations.
Other pillarsin the transformation.
Discover the other components of Nigeria's Smart Agro transformation.
Mechanisation — Remove the drudgery
Eliminate the three major sources of physical drudgery — bending to clear, bending to weed and bending to harvest — so agriculture is attractive to young people and commercially productive for farmers.
Land, Water and Improved Agronomy — Improve yields and reduce dependence on rainfall
Promote a proposed target of at least 50,000 hectares of suitable agricultural land per state, supported by irrigation, soil assessment, responsible land-use planning and Good Agricultural Practices (GAP).
Research, Development and Commercialisation — Scale proven research into practice
Accelerate the commercial adoption of the top 10 relevant research innovations for each of the 13 priority food categories.
Soil Health and Sustainable Inputs — Maintain long-term soil fertility
Encourage responsible organic farming, composting, suitable manures, efficient fertiliser use and soil testing.
Digital and Precision Agriculture — Technology where it improves productivity
Introduce digital extension services, farmer training platforms, drones, robotics, autonomous machinery, greenhouses, hydroponics, aquaponics and smart irrigation.
Zero-Waste Agriculture, Aggregation and Logistics — Convert losses into marketable food
Identify and recover preventable food losses through aggregation centres, digital inventory systems, modern warehouses, cold chains, improved packaging, processing and reliable transportation.
Be part ofthe transformation.
Together, we can turn agricultural potential into productive farms, affordable food, competitive industries, thriving communities and sustainable economic growth.
