The Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security (FMAFS) plans to present a 10-year agrifood strategy to the Federal Executive Council (FEC). This development is significant as it ties the delivery of the strategy to the Kampala Declaration targets, which aim to improve food security in Africa. The FMAFS's move is part of efforts to address the challenges facing the agricultural sector in Nigeria.

The Kampala Declaration was adopted by African countries in 2014 with the aim of improving food security on the continent. The declaration sets out targets for increasing agricultural productivity, improving access to markets, and enhancing the resilience of agricultural systems. In Nigeria, the FMAFS has been working to implement policies that align with the Kampala Declaration targets.

The presentation of the 10-year agrifood strategy by the FMAFS is a crucial step towards addressing the challenges facing the agricultural sector in Nigeria. The strategy is expected to provide a roadmap for improving food security and increasing agricultural productivity in the country. However, the success of the strategy will depend on its implementation and the level of commitment from stakeholders.

The presentation of the 10-year agrifood strategy by the FMAFS is a significant development that has the potential to improve food security in Nigeria. Practitioners should monitor the progress of the strategy and provide support where necessary. The outcome of this matter has not yet been reported.
