Presenting the executive summary of the survey to Dr.
Mohammad Mahmood Abubakar, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, in Abuja, Nigeria, Professor Emmanuel Ikani called for vigorous implementation of mechanization and dry-season agriculture to cope with food production losses
due to floods in 2022.
He said ADPs and the National Department of Agriculture need to have a regular, regular and ongoing agricultural data collection infrastructure, which is necessary
to ensure timely and accurate collection of credible agricultural data.
Other recommendations include the need for policies to reduce the production and land costs of agricultural inputs, such as pesticides, fertilizers and fish feed; Livestock needs to be integrated into national agricultural systems, which can be achieved
through research and the use of local raw materials.
There is also a need for efficient use of food reserves to store agricultural products
.
He said existing policies in this area needed to be revisited to enhance food security
in the country.
