She noted that “the future of agriculture depends not only on improved inputs, but equally on stronger intelligence,” adding that “through this partnership, Nigeria is strengthening the institutional capabilities needed to plan better, respond faster and make more informed decisions.

“It also reflects the federal government’s commitment to stronger coordination, recognising that sustainable development is accelerated when institutions work together around shared national priorities.”

Moon explained that the National Agro-Productivity System, to be coordinated by the PFSCU under the National Agribusiness Policy Mechanism, would equip federal, state and local governments with timely intelligence on agricultural land availability, crop performance, growth stages and projected yields.

She added that the system is also expected to strengthen production planning, food security monitoring, agribusiness investment, early warning systems and evidence-based policymaking.
