Working Paper 46: Drivers of Market-Oriented Land Use Decisions Among Farm Households in Nigeria

This study examines agricultural commercialisation in Nigeria with the aim of establishing factors that are constraining commercialisation

Abstract

In recent times, the Nigerian Government has devised strategies aimed at intensifying smallholder transformation for enhanced food security, employment creation and poverty reduction. However, despite these efforts, the process of agricultural commercialisation in Nigeria has not progressed as fast as expected. Consequently, this study examines agricultural commercialisation in Nigeria with the aim of establishing factors that are constraining commercialisation and identifying potential policy levers that can be used to fast-track the process.
