Abstract: The study examined the economic determinants of agricultural productivity in Nigeria from 1981 – 2017, using ARDL technique. The outcome of the study confirms the long run linkage among the variables of the model. The estimated ARDL result reveals that the labor force and real exchange rate influence agricultural productivity positively, while the inflation rate are negatively in Nigeria. Hence it is recommends that the government and policy makers should encourage and assist farmers through agricultural programs and seminar Like (Anchor Borrowers, introducing new yield pest side, insecticide and newly agricultural techniques of production as well as agricultural mechanization) and programs such as operation feed the Nation (OFN), agricultural credit guarantee scheme fund (ACGSF) especially in Rural areas in order to increase more agricultural productivity in Nigeria..
