Sources: 4. Developments: 2. Nigeria is undertaking a multi-faceted modernization of its agricultural sector through legal reform and strategic international alignment. The federal government has entered a second phase of reviewing agricultural laws to replace obsolete provisions with a framework supporting food sovereignty, agribusiness, and climate resilience. Alongside these legal changes, officials have advocated for a shift toward a demand-driven agricultural extension model to provide farmers with verified, market-specific information. Building on these domestic reforms, the Nigerian federal and state governments have committed to implementing the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) Kampala Declaration and its 2026–2035 Strategy and Action Plan. This framework expands the scope of agricultural development to include investment, finance, nutrition security, and trade. Officials report that these efforts, supported by expanded input distribution and rural infrastructure investment, have contributed to price reductions of up to 50 percent for certain essential food commodities. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-05: Nigeria implements Kampala Declaration for agricultural development Nigeria's Federal Government and state authorities are collaborating to implement the Kampala Declaration's 2026–2035 agricultural strategy to enhance food security and rural economies. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/nigeria-implements-kampala-declaration-for-agricultural-development ### 2026-09-29: Nigeria initiates agricultural law overhaul and extension service reforms Nigeria is overhauling its agricultural laws and transitioning to a demand-driven extension service model to boost food security, agribusiness investment, and information integrity for farmers. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/nigeria-initiates-agricultural-law-overhaul-and-extension-service-reforms --- Cite as: Nigeria agricultural sector modernization and reform.
