We intend to develop the sector further by attracting more investment in agri-business to deepen our processing capacity of both staple and cash crops, which not only provide us food security but will help Nigeria grow its non-oil exports. We have a responsibility to support our farmers with adequate financing, value chain support, and access to markets, skills, and technology to increase productivity within the sector, giving them the ability to provide food for the State and for exports while creating much-needed jobs and opportunities.  Priority will be given to strategic crops, including cassava, rice, cocoa, cashew, maize, yam, and vegetables.
