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

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

*Central Bank of Nigeria

World’s #2 Importer


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;

Achievements So Far Do

o

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

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

Government N25 billion ($156 million)

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


1

1

Mr. President launched 40% High Quality Cassava Flour (HQCF)

Bread by IITA on 30 November, 2011 and challenged the private

sector to commercialize


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

1

2


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)

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

Nigeria is the largest importer of rice in the world,

spending N356bn (>$2bn) per year

Federal Government raised tariff on imported brown

rice and finished rice


In the last year, we produced 690,000 MT in the main

season

We did 1.1 million MT during the dry season, the first

time in Nigeria’s history

13 New Rice Mills with a total capacity of 240,000 MT

have been set up by the private sector

$1.2 billion financing from the China Exim Bank for

private sector-owned100 large scale rice processing

plants (3 million MT capacity), with a capacity to

substitute imports
