Nigeria is one of Africa’s most promising destinations for commercial farming investment. With over 70 million hectares of cultivable land, a growing population of over 200 million people, and strong government backing for agribusiness, Nigeria presents investors with exceptional opportunities for long-term agricultural returns.
At African Land, we help you navigate this landscape with confidence—providing the expertise and support needed to build scalable, sustainable farming ventures.
Vast Arable Land: States like Benue, Nasarawa, Kaduna, Ogun, and Oyo are ideal for commercial farming, offering fertile soils and expansive land availability.
Year-Round Growing Seasons: Nigeria’s diverse agro-ecological zones support multiple growing cycles for various crops.
High Local Demand: Nigeria’s large population drives strong domestic consumption of staples like rice, maize, cassava, poultry, and dairy.
Agro-Export Potential: There’s increasing global demand for Nigerian-grown crops such as sesame seeds, ginger, and cocoa.
Government Incentives: Initiatives like the Anchor Borrowers’ Programme and tax exemptions encourage both local and foreign agricultural investment.
Grain Farming: Maize, rice, and sorghum are in high demand for both food and industrial processing.
Cassava and Yam Production: These are staples with extensive value-add potential in food processing and biofuel.
Poultry and Livestock: Rapid urbanization is boosting demand for protein sources like eggs, chicken, beef, and dairy.
