According to the NBS National Agricultural Sample Census report, roughly 40.2 million agricultural families in Nigeria participate in various agricultural activities. According to the survey, 91% of agricultural households cultivated crops, with 35% focusing solely on crop cultivation and 48% raising livestock. Furthermore, 16% of families in 2022 raised cattle, 41.2% raised goats, 42.5% raised fowl, and only 5% are involved in fishing. These data points indicate the prevalence of agriculture among Nigerian households and the diversity of their engagement in the agricultural industry. However, it is critical to empower these households to fully realize their potential and increase their contribution to the economy. Government policies should prioritize increasing crop yields, providing resources for animal production, and boosting support for undeserved industries such as fisheries. These steps would not only improve general rural lives, but also strengthen Nigeria's position in dealing with the country's current acute food crisis.
