PwC Warns 34.7 Million Nigerians Face Acute Food Insecurity Crisis in 2026
PwC's Nigeria Economic Outlook 2026 report highlights the looming crisis of acute food insecurity affecting 34.7 million Nigerians. Factors such as conflicts, high input costs, and climate-related shocks are projected to worsen food production and distribution.
The report emphasizes the impact of violent conflicts in northern Nigeria, displacing farmers and disrupting agricultural activities. Rising farm costs, reduced access to financing, and erratic rainfall patterns are exacerbating the situation, leading to a significant drop in food availability and increased risk of shortages in 2026.
