Food Security
More locally produced food and less dependence on imported agricultural products.
What our work means for Nigeria
Agriculture is one of the most important sectors of the Nigerian economy. Here is how DoveHills aims to contribute to national development.
The Opportunity
Why agriculture matters in Nigeria
Recent Nigerian and international sources put agriculture at roughly one-quarter of national GDP. The wider agrifood system supports a very large share of employment and economic activity.
Nigeria's agricultural investment priorities emphasise stronger value chains, food security, employment and import substitution. DoveHills works towards the same goals.
