Opportunities in times of food scarcity in Nigeria

The Nigerian "Guardian" reported on November 8 that according to a survey report jointly conducted by the Nigerian Ministry of Agriculture and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, it is estimated that nearly 17 million Nigerians will fall into a food crisis or emergency next. According to the report, from October to December this year, more than 12.1 million Nigerians in 21 of the country's 36 states were in a state of food crisis or emergency. That number is expected to rise to 16.8 million between June and August next year. Under this dire threat, how to explore some potential opportunities to address this issue and contribute to improved food security?

Food scarcity in Nigeria

1. Expand cassava cultivation.

In fact, in addition to major food crops such as corn, wheat, and rice, Nigeria and even the whole of Africa are very suitable for the cultivation of cassava. As one of the important local crops, cassava has very high food value. Deeply processed cassava products such as garri and cassava flour can replace wheat flour, and tapioca starch can replace corn starch. This can not only help solve the food shortage problem but also help local growers increase their income levels.
