Introduction and Background
Nigeria’s agricultural sector holds immense promise yet remains constrained by traditional practices and infrastructural challenges. The report highlights how digital innovations—exemplified by initiatives such as the Value Chain Development Programme (VCDP) and the Livelihood Improvement Family Enterprises Project for the Niger Delta (LIFE-ND)—can transform farming by improving productivity, market access, and financial inclusion for smallholder farmers.
Funded by IFAD, this resource outlines a strategic approach that integrates digital tools into agriculture to drive rural development. Through an assessment conducted by the Digital Advisory Support Services for Accelerated Rural Transformation (DAS) Program, it identifies current opportunities and gaps, paving the way for policy recommendations and targeted interventions that empower communities and stimulate sustainable economic growth.
