A cross section of speaker at the 'Nigeria Agri-Business Data & Investment Forum,' organised by the Nigeria Agri-Business Data & Investment Hub (NADIH) and the Lagos Business School, held recently.
Inadequate and timely agricultural data is hampering Nigeria’s agricultural productivity and food security quest.
Experts who spoke at the ‘Nigeria Agri-Business Data & Investment Forum,’ organised by the Nigeria Agri-Business Data & Investment Hub (NADIH) and the Lagos Business School, described data as a key factor in addressing development, investment, and food security issues.
Abisola Olusanya, Lagos State commissioner for Agriculture and Food Systems, said incomplete data forces assumptions across the food system.
“When farmers lack reliable information on market demand and pricing, production becomes an educated guess. When investors lack credible data, capital becomes cautious, and opportunities remain underfunded,” she said.
