Nigeria is intensifying efforts to bridge the widening gap between domestic wheat production and surging consumption, even as imports remain the primary source of supply.

The programme is designed to restore the full seed value chain, including research, early-generation seed production, multiplication, certification and farmer adoption.

The strategy focuses on integrating AI-driven breeding platforms with novel chemical and biotechnology traits to boost farm yields, optimize input efficiency, and improve climate resilience for growers worldwide.

The financing is intended to address a major constraint facing Burundi’s agriculture sector: limited access to affordable capital.
