Nigeria, like other countries, the Minister said: “has faced
critical challenges in her drive for food security”.
These challenges, she said, affects “the upstream and downstream
agricultural sector”.
She added: “The current food situation is unsustainable. We
strongly believe that given the quantum of arable land in Africa,
the time to change the global support to commercial agriculture is
now”.
This situation she said “requires Foreign Direct Investment
(FDI) flows into the agriculture value chain”.
