In Nigeria, the agricultural supply chain has long been plagued by inefficiencies, waste, and limited market access for smallholder farmers. These challenges have contributed to food insecurity, economic losses, and missed opportunities for growth in the agricultural sector.
The Traditional Agricultural Supply Chain in Nigeria
The traditional agricultural supply chain in Nigeria typically involves multiple intermediaries between farmers and consumers. This lengthy chain often results in:
- High post-harvest losses (estimated at 50-60% for perishable produce)
- Price inflation as each intermediary adds their markup
- Reduced farmer income as they receive only a small fraction of the final selling price
- Limited market information for farmers, leading to poor decision-making
- Inconsistent quality and availability of produce for consumers
