Report Urges Nigeria to Invest in Agriculture Infrastructure for Better Food Sector
A new report by the World Food Programme (WFP) in partnership with the African Development Bank (AfDB) and the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) outlines key recommendations to improve Nigeria's agriculture sector. The report emphasizes the urgent need for coordinated investments in infrastructure to enhance farmers' livelihoods and build a more resilient food system.
It suggests policy reforms, private sector partnerships, and digital platforms to address issues such as poor infrastructure, post-harvest losses, and access to quality inputs.
