Global Food and Nutrition Security

Under the umbrella of the 50x2030 Initiative to Close the Agricultural Data Gap, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) provided technical support for Nigeria’s 2022/23 Agricultural Sample Surveys (NASS) implemented by the National Bureau of Statistics of Nigeria in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security (FMAFS). Through the Initiative, the country will strengthen its national statistics system, improve the use of survey data in policymaking and enhance the capacity of key data users to optimize evidence-based decisions. This note provides key insights on farming related to agricultural holdings in the household sector in Nigeria during the agricultural season 2022/23. It presents indicators on agricultural land and holding size, crop output and yields, livestock rearing and labour use.
