Nigeria has taken a major step toward achieving food self-sufficiency with the launch of a new agricultural initiative by the National Agricultural Land Development Authority (NALDA). This program aims to boost local food production, modernize farming practices, and reduce the country’s reliance on food imports.
As part of the initiative, NALDA will provide farmers with advanced equipment, training, and financial support to enhance agricultural productivity. The scheme also seeks to create jobs, particularly for young people, by encouraging innovation and participation in the agricultural sector.
Beyond increasing crop yields, the program will improve food storage and processing infrastructure, helping to minimize post-harvest losses. These efforts are expected to strengthen Nigeria’s agricultural industry and contribute to long-term economic stability.
With this initiative, NALDA aims to position Nigeria as a self-sustaining food producer, ensuring greater food security and reducing import dependency in the years ahead.
