Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security

National Agricultural Technology and Innovation Policy (NATIP) 2022-2027

The Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development is mandated to ensure food security, employment generation and wealth creation through improved commodity value chain activities and rural infrastructural development. Meanwhile, the government has demonstrated consistent efforts to diversify Nigeria’s economy through agriculture.

Accordingly, FMARD conceived the National Agricultural Technology and Innovation Policy (NATIP) to modernize the agricultural sector in line with the changing global food systems and supply chains. NATIP, 2022-2027 as approved by the Federal Executive Council on Wednesday, 18th May, 2022 will operate within other policies and strategies of relevant MDAs to ensure synergy and better coordination.

The Policy appreciated the need to mobilize critical stakeholders at state and local government levels, relevant MDAs, organized private sector and development partners in the implementation and monitoring of the Policy. This synergy holds the key to superior execution of the Policy in line with the national aspiration of fast tracking inclusive growth and development. Indeed, this Policy will be backed by specific implementation strategies and action plans, Agricultural Investment Plan and a robust monitoring and evaluation framework .
