problem of agriculture in
Nigeria

Lack of Farm mechanization

These problem of agriculture has overspread all Nigerian farmers, today there's nothing like using machine to do agriculture work. Though some farmers might have some farm mechanies But they would be able to repair or locate spare part of these Machines

Insufficient funds or capital

Farmers production in their year to year heaviest is decreasing as a result of insufficient funds interm of obtaining large size of land and fertilizerisation of crops.

illiteracy

These problem has overspread to almost all nigeria farmers as a result of lack of adequate proper educational. The problem has overspread to the extent that most farmer doesn't know some strategics on the use of farm equipment.

Laziness

It's said that no food for a lazy man .A farmer heaviest a small quantity of variety of production not because of small size of landlord. it's because of laziness.

Replanting practice

I have witness this practice several times it's highly unacceptable as a farmer, whereby a farmer will heaviest today and tomorrow he or she would cultivate and plant again in thesame land. These practice will effect productivity after a years or two years of replanting.

Hmm, I think you may have the wrong idea about this community. We all know what agriculture is. Posts here need to be outdoor adventure focused. This post is borderline suitable but explaining what agriculture isn't really the sort of thing this community is for. If you're a farmer then you could showcase your own farming practices: Planting, harvesting, fertilisation and watering for instance but simply explaining what agriculture doesn't make this a suitable post for this community.
