As of 2023, the cereal yield in Nigeria was recorded at 1.66 thousand kilograms per hectare. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 indicates a steady increase in cereal yield, starting at 1.67 thousand kilograms per hectare in 2024 and reaching 1.71 thousand kilograms per hectare by 2028. This suggests an annual growth of about 0.6% year-on-year over the period.
Future trends to watch for:
• Advances in agricultural technology and practices could further enhance yield improvements.
• Climate change impacts and mitigation efforts will play a crucial role in sustaining and potentially accelerating yield growth.
• Government policies and investment in agriculture infrastructure could significantly influence the projected growth rates.
• Global market conditions and trade agreements might affect input costs and profitability, thereby impacting farming practices and yield outcomes.
