Experts Urge Urgent Reforms to Nigeria’s Food Distribution System to Boost Security
Stakeholders in Nigeria’s agricultural sector are urging urgent reforms in the nation’s food distribution system to improve access, affordability, and reduce post-harvest losses.
At the PricePally Impact Summit in Lagos, experts highlighted that distribution challenges, rather than food production, are central to the country’s food insecurity issues.
Leaders called for technological integration, investments in cold storage, and infrastructure upgrades to enhance supply chain efficiency and farmer livelihoods.
They emphasized the need for system-wide reforms beyond small-scale initiatives to secure Nigeria’s food future.
