The contribution of agriculture to Nigeria's GDP has remained largely low owing to?
Answer Details
The contribution of agriculture to Nigeria's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has remained largely low due to its predominantly subsistence nature. Most of the farmers in Nigeria are small-scale subsistence farmers who produce only enough food to feed their families, with very little left over for sale. This means that the agricultural sector is not producing enough surplus for commercial activities and export, leading to low GDP contribution. In addition, the sector faces other challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, limited access to markets, low productivity, and insufficient access to finance and technology. All these factors contribute to the low contribution of agriculture to Nigeria's GDP.
