- Low Productivity: Many Nigerian farmers use outdated farming methods, resulting in low yields. They need education and access to modern farming techniques.
- Land Fragmentation: Land is often divided into smaller plots due to inheritance, leading to inefficiency. Encouraging land consolidation can help.
- Infrastructural Issues: Poor roads and inadequate storage facilities make it challenging to transport and preserve crops. Investment in infrastructure is needed.
- Climate Change: Erratic weather patterns and changing climates can harm crops. Promoting climate-resilient farming practices is essential.
