Abstract: Nigeria has abundant land and water resources and her agricultural sector has high growth potentials, but due to various factors like increasing climatic conditions, land fragmentation and years of gender blind policies, the sector has not performed as expected. Farming is mostly done on a small scale and it is mostly rain-fed thereby making the production system weather sensitive. Large scale farming and irrigation practices are still underutilized in several parts of the country.
