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

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

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
ü Integrating food production, storage, food processing and industrial manufacturing by value chains (“Farm-to-Fork”)
ü Focusing on value chains where Nigeria has comparative advantage
ü Adopting Import-Substitution measures to drive sector growth
ü Investment-driven strategic partnerships with the private sector
ü Investment drives to unlock potential of our States in agriculture (joint init iatives with State Governments)
ü New incentives for private sector (zero % duty on all agricultural machinery and equipment
What we have started doing;

North East: Cotton Onion, Tomato, Sorghum
North West: Cotton Onion, Tomato, Sorghum
North Central: Maize & Soybean
South West: Oil Palm & Cocoa
South East: Oil Palm & Cocoa
South South: Oil Palm & Cocoa
National: Rice, Cassava, Livestock and Fisheries are a priority across the Nation
10
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
10 Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Federal Republic of Nigeria

Mr. President launched 40% High Quality Cassava Flour (HQCF) Bread by IITA on 30 November, 2011 and challenged the private sector to commercialize
11 Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Federal Republic of Nigeria
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
12
12 Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Federal Republic of Nigeria
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
