Nigeria Imports over 1.3 Trillion Naira in wheat, rice, sugar and fish every year
Sugar
Fish
Wheat World’s largest importer
of US hard red and white winter Wheat
Nigeria’s top 4 food imports * Measure: Annual food imports in mllions of naira
Nigeria’s imports Nigeria’s food imports are growing at an
unsustainable rate of 11% per annum. Relying on the import of expensive food on
global markets fuels domestic inflation. Excessive imports putting high pressure on
the Naira and hurting the economy Nigeria is importing what it can produce in
abundance. Import dependency is hurting Nigerian
farmers, displacing local production and creating rising unemployment. Import dependency is not acceptable, nor
sustainable fiscally, economically or politically.

Our Vision: Grow Nigeria’s agricultural sector

“To make Nigeria an agriculturally industrialized economy” What we have stopped doing
× Treating agriculture as a development project
× Isolated projects that do not clearly grow the sector in a
clear and measurable way.
× Big government crowding out the private sector

Our Vision: Grow Nigeria’s agricultural sector

“To make Nigeria an agriculturally industrialized economy” What we have started doing! Treating agriculture as a business Integrating food production, storage, food processing and
industrial manufacturing by value chains (‘farm to fork’) Focusing on value chains where Nigeria has comparative
advantage Using agriculture to create jobs, wealth and ensure food security Investment-driven strategic partnerships with the private sector Investment drives to unlock potential of our States in agriculture
(joint drives with State Governors)

New policies, institutions and financing structures to drive sector growth:
1. Deregulation of seed and fertilizer sectors 2. Marketing reforms to structure markets 3. Innovative financing for agriculture 4. New agricultural investment framework

Government has fully deregulated the fertilizer and seed sector, and sanitized the fertilizer subsidy program

Government Distributed
Private Sector Fertilizer Supplier
Federal Government
State Government
All Farmers
Private Sector Fertilizer Supplier
Targeted Farmers
Federal &
State Govt.
Manufacturer/Supplier gets order from FG
FG has manufacturer deliver to states per indent from state at 25% subsidy.
State “distributes” fertilizer to farmers occasionally adding their own subsidy.
Only 11% of fertilizer reaches the intended farmers
States and FG coordinate to distribute fertilizer vouchers to targeted farmers.
94% of actual farmers receive the subsidized fertilizer under the voucher program.
Private sector sells fertilizer to farmers at market price “minus” the fertilizer voucher discount provided by government.
Government distributed fertilizer support program
Private Sector Distributed
Private sector distributed fertilizer support system, utilizing Input Vouchers
Key takeaways
Government distribution system is inefficient and wastes resources
Government distribution channels subsidize corruption
Implemented Growth Enhancement Support Program to directly target famers
Global Best Practice
