Nigeria’s Agricultural Transformation Agenda (ATA)
Turning Nigeria into a Global Powerhouse in Agriculture
1
Nigeria can no longer continue to be a sleeping
giant. We have to wake up. And if we wake up,
we must begin to do things differently.
Grow Food
Assure national food security
by adding an additional 20
Million metric tons of food to
the domestic food supply by
2015
Create Jobs
Over 3.5 Million jobs by 2015
Create Wealth

Measure: Annual food imports (Naira,bn)
Nigeria’s imports
Nigeria’s food imports are growing at an
unsustainable rate of 11% per annum
Relying on the import of expensive food on
global markets fuels domestic inflation
Excessive imports putting high pressure
on the Naira and hurting the economy
Nigeria is importing what it can produce in
abundance
Import dependency is hurting Nigerian
farmers, displacing local production and
creating rising unemployment

Our Vision is to Make Nigeria an Agriculturally Industrialized
Economy
A government-enabled, private sector-driven approach
4
Treating agriculture as a development
project
Funding isolated projects that do not grow
the sector in a clear and measurable way
Allowing big government to crowd-out the
private sector
What we have stopped doing;
Treating agriculture as a BUSINESS
 Integrating food production, storage, food
processing and industrial manufacturing by value
chains (“Farm-to-Fork”)
 Focusing on value chains where Nigeria has
comparative advantage
 Adopting Import-Substitution measures to drive
sector growth
 Investment-driven strategic partnerships with
the private sector
 Investment drives to unlock potential of our States
in agriculture (joint initiatives with State
Governments)
 New incentives for private sector (zero % duty on
all agricultural machinery and equipment
What we have started doing;

Aggressive New Policies are Driving the
Transformation Agenda

Growth Enhancement Support (GES) Scheme Launched in 2012
The Government Ended 4 Decades of Corruption in the Seed and
Fertilizer Sectors Within 90 Days
 Ended direct procurement and distribution of
seed and fertilizers by the government
 Private sector seed and fertilizer companies
now sell directly to farmers
 Cellphone-based system developed to send
subsidies via electronic vouchers (e-wallets)
directly to farmers via their cellphones
 Nigeria is 1st country in Africa to develop the E-
wallet for input delivery to farmers
 Reached 1.5 million farmers (7.5 million people
impacted) within the first one year
 First ever database of farmers developed
 4.2 million farmers registered in 2012
 10 million farmers registered in 2013

DIGNITY RETURNS TO NIGERIAN FARMERS
Cellphones Used to End Corruption and Save Government Funds

 N15 billion ($100 million) of fertilizers
sold directly to farmers via e-wallet
system
 N1.5 billion ($10 million) of seeds sold
directly to farmers via e-wallet system
 Commercial banks lent N3.7 billion to
seed companies and agro-dealers
 0% rate of default on GES Loans
 Federal Government, states and
farmers did cost-sharing
 GES system saved the Federal
Government N25 billion ($156 million)
in 2012

Achievement Highlights
• Developing Cassava value chains for new value-
add products (high quality cassava flour, cassava
chips, ethanol, starch, sweeteners)
• Expanding production of high quality cassava
flour to substitute imported wheat in the baking
industry
• Cassava bread development fund established
• Secured financing of over $200 million for 18
private sector-owned large scale cassava flour
processing plants with 1.3 million MT capacity
• Secured 3.2 million MT contract orders from
China for export of dried cassava chips for
Ethanol production
• Government provided 30 million bundles of
cassava cuttings free of charge to farmers around
the country:
- Released 3 pro-vitamin cassava varieties
Cassava Value Chain
10

1
Mr. President launched 40% High Quality Cassava Flour (HQCF)
Bread by IITA on 30 November, 2011 and challenged the private
sector to commercialize
11

Within Three Months, Cassava Bread with 20% Cassava Flour and
80% Wheat Became Commercially Available
Cassava Bread is 60% of the cost of Wheat Bread and has a higher
nutritional value
112

Export Opportunities Exist For Dried Cassava Chips
As the World’s Leading Cassava Producer, Nigeria is Well Positioned
to Benefit From This Export Market
• The global market for cassava chips is estimated
at US$1.5 to US$2 billion
• China is the world’s largest buyer of cassava
chips, for Ethanol
• China’s demand is sourced mainly from Southeast
Asia: Thailand (54%), Vietnam (38%) and
Indonesia (4%)
• Nigeria supplies less than 5% of volumes
• Nigeria has potential to become major global
player within two years (Nigerian dried chips
preferred to South East Asia’s due to higher
quality level)
1
Nigerian Dried Chips
The Government Has Secured 3.2 million MT Of Contract Orders For Nigerian
Dried Cassava Chips From Chinese Importers

Based on Existing Contracts, Nigeria Can Earn Between $802
Million and $1.37 Billion From Dried Chips Exports to China and
Europe
