Agriculture is the mainstay of any economy, and is fundamental to social economic development of any nation. This is because agriculture represents a strategic asset to the overall well-being of a country’s economy. It provides food, clothing, and generates foreign exchange among others.
This is why it’s very pitiful that in a great country like Nigeria filled with agricultural potential and development, the profession has waned considerably, as agriculture represents a third of the nation’s GDP while in 2014, it was the largest in Africa with around $500 billion.
