Nigeria is One of the Most Highly Blessed Nations in Africa. That She has not possessed the capacity to Solve, even Her Claim Problems of Food and Agriculture involves Extremely Great Concerns.

In any case, in the event that you might want to be on the Full know about the Real Problems Of Food Production. Here
are 12 of Nigeria's Major Problems Of Food and Horticulture, and they include:

1.Poverty

In the present Nigeria, one of the Major Problems of Food Production is Poverty. Then again, one of the Simplest and a Doubtless Truth that you can without much of a stretch Know about Nigeria is the way that more than 75% of Her Rural Dwellers are Full-time Farmers.

Another Doubtless Truth that you can likewise Discover there is that Nigeria's present failure to, try and Solve Her Own Problems of Food and Agriculture, isn't as a Result of Her Peoples' Laziness; or say a Matter of the Nation being Naturally Unblessed. Nigerian Farmers and Nigerians all in all are extremely Hard-working and Industrious.

An exceptionally Great Variety of Delicious Species of Organic Foods, Fruits, Vegetables and Cash-crops possess large amounts of the Country. Indeed, the Nation is so Highly Blessed, and there are huge Acres of Fertile Agricultural Lands all around the Country.

Be that as it may, to me, Nigerians genuinely are not by any means lacking Food. What they truly need there is the cash to purchase the Food; the cash to Produce the Food; and, or even the cash to obtain little Piece of Land to Grow the Food.

  1. Obliviousness

Nigeria of today is where Agriculture is still extraordinarily and generally Undermined; or potentially even Over-looked as a simple " Back-yard Business ". Some Nigerian Youths even view Farming as:

" An Odd Job that is implied just for the Illiterate Rustic People ".
According to a portion of Nigeria's Wealthy Class,Cultivating is, Ignorantly Underrated or Abhorred as:

" Poor Peoples' Job ".

The specific most exceedingly terrible is that the Governments in Nigeria Are, bombastically doing next to no or nothing in Terms of Solving the Nation's Food and Agricultural Issues.

  1. Absence of education

The best number of Dedicated Full-time Agriculturists in Nigeria can neither Read nor Compose. The Local Farmers there are even as Clueless as they need Modern Agricultural Instruction.
The peak of absence of education there, is Nigeria's Add up to Negligence and, or Her Non-use of Native Dialects in the Nation's Pursuits for Modern

Instruction. For in this Modern World, People that still Studies in Foreign Languages have not by any stretch of the imagination M.begun Learning. What's more, this Level of Illiteracy and
Ignorance do frequently Constitute some genuine Set-backs, even in Nigeria's Food Production Efforts.

  1. Utilization Of Manual Farm Tools/Methods

Do you realize that the Average Nigerian Farmer is as yet making utilization of just the same Out-dated Manual

Ranch Tools - like Cutlass and Hoe - as their Fore-fathers utilized since numerous Centuries prior?.

Do you additionally realize that as opposed to utilizing a few Reasonable Modern Agricultural Techniques or
Straightforward Machines; the Farmers in that piece of the World have Changelessly, Adhered to different Old Agricultural Methods and Practices that were Copied from their Ancestors?.

To put it plainly, their utilization of these sorts of Archaic and Out-dated Tools and Techniques, constitutes an exceptionally incredible set-back in the Country's Food and Farming Out-puts.

  1. Absence Of Road; Water; and Electricity

The Rural Farming Communities in Nigeria have neither Road nor Water nor Electricity. Some do not have Hospitals or Schools around them.
Would you be able to then envision the Pains and the Labors, and whatever degrees the Farmers from such-like Regions can Contribute in Food Production?.

  1. Lack Of Food Storage or Processing Facilities

Numerous Delicious and Juicy Fruits, Vegetables, and Money Crops are to a great extent Produced from Nigeria's Nearby Farming Communities. Be that as it may, Do you know that an exceptionally extraordinary Percentage of these Delicious Natural Farm Produce frequently get Damaged and, or Squandered before they achieve their Final Consumers?.

In this sort of a Situation, One of the Major Issues that is confronting the Helpless Local Farmers there, is Lack of Adequate Food Storage or Preparing Facilities.

7.*** Absence Of Modern Farm Machines/Techniques***

Another Major Problem of Nigeria's Food and Horticulture is absence of Modern Farm Machines or Systems. As I expressed before, the Farmers in Nigeria are as yet making utilization of Ancient Agricultural

Devices/Techniques; while there are Low-taken a toll
Present day Farm Machines/Techniques out there for Use as better Substitutes.

  1. Absence Of Scientific and Technological Know-how

In Nigeria, Scientific and Technological Know-how is moderately low. Numerous Schools there in Nigeria try not to try and have Science Laboratories. Thus, a extraordinary Majority of Students there rather Theorize Sciences than Practicalize them.

Truth be told, this Problem of Nigeria's Under- Improvement in Science and Technology regularly leave the Country to Depend generally on Importation. Furthermore, this similarly, is a piece of the Major Issues and Challenges of the Country's Food …

9.*Confusion And Unaccountability

Association and Accountability is one of the Basics of Better and Successful Management. Be that as it may, till this Time of Modernization and Civilization, Nigeria is still Inside Disorganized. She needs, even a Valid and a Well-Organized Documentations of Her Citizens or on the other hand Properties or Marriages or Births or Deaths.
In a similar vein, a greater part of Farms there in Nigeria needs Organization or Records and Responsibility. A few Farmers there are just planting with no sort or sort of a Farm Records or on the other hand Organization; or Measurements or, no less than; an Record for a less demanding Identification of the conceivable Explanations for their Agricultural Gains or Loses.

10.Absence Of Leadership and Neo-Colonialism

A standout amongst the Most Serious of all the Major Problems of Food and Agriculture in Nigeria is Lack of Administration. Fumbles; Corruptions and Misappropriations of Public Funds are extremely normal inside Nigeria's Government Officials. What's more, as you know, Patriotism; Trust, Honesty; Organization what's more, Careful Management has regularly Led the Achievement and Prosperity of Modern Man.
Be that as it may, there in Nigeria, whatever you can without much of a stretch see or notice is the Plain Fact the Nation has " No Leaders ".
Another significant Problem there in Nigeria's Food furthermore, Agriculture is the Fact that the Nation, has never under any circumstance been Her Real Self.Her Colonial Masters just allowed Her Freedom. Be that as it may, in a roundabout way, Nigeria's Assets, Economy, Politics, Language, Culture and some more; are as yet enduring new Strategies for Mental Colonization or say, Neo-Expansionism.
In this same vein, even Her Major Problems of Food what's more, Agriculture have no Real Solutions until Nigeria is Fully and Unreservedly, in Control of Her Own Self and Destiny.

  1. Industrialization and Privatization

Current Conversions and Privatizations of Food also, Agriculture into a Big and Expensive Industry or Conglomerate, is additionally of the Major Supporters of Nigeria's Food and Agricultural Set-backs. In one hand, the Modern Global Waves of Industrialization and Privatization of Food and Agribusiness truly Produces Surplus Food that is all that could possibly be needed to Feed, even the Entire World Populace.Then again, Food and Agricultural Industrialization and Privatization, truly Added Enormously to Global Hunger and Poverty. The Reasons are on the grounds that Agric Industrialization and

Privatization:

  • Results in an Uneven Distribution of Food.
    -Uses a great part of the Produced Food in Feeding Animals.
    -Is Wasteful and Destructive as it is simply after Quantity.

-Favors the Haves and Disfavors the Have-nots.

  • Adds Hidden Taxes to Prices of Food.

  • Is Very Expensive and Uneconomical.

  • And it Results in Total Loss of Rural Jobs; Etc… Etc.

12.Global Warming

An Earth-wide temperature boost is likewise part of the Major Problems of Food and Agriculture in Nigeria. Backwoods Pulverizations and Over-brushing of Animals has extremely transformed a great deal of Nigeria's Farmlands into Deserts.
Like in different Countries of the World, a few Lakes;Waterways; Streams and Rain Forests have really Vanished. Numerous Nigerian Farming Communities that as it were Relies upon Rainfall, are currently looked with Severe Dry spells, Erosions, Landslides; Deforestations and An Excessive Massive Loss of Crops and Animals. All these are a portion of the Real Impacts of Global Warming on Nigeria's Agriculture and Food Production.
