Lack of development in general is a problem when it comes to Agriculture in Nigeria. The Lack of development include: social development, economic development and environmental development and political development. Identifying and tackling development constraints in the Nigeria agricultural system will help create a climate to improve performance, and will help promote and accelerate the growth in this sector.

The lack of storage and processing facilities affect both national food security and household food security. Even when there is a lot of harvest and the production of farm product seem enough, because of lack of good storage it will still lead to food scarcity as the food will not be available or be in a good condition when it’s time for consumption. Good storage and processing are required to ensure that food is available in good condition when ever it’s required. Simple and effective method for storing perishable food like tubers, fruits and vegetables are not really developed and well known in Nigeria when compare to that of grains. Storage is a problem for Nigeria as a large number of food produce perishes, because of the lack storage and processing facilities.

Marketing involves the conveying of agricultural product from farmers to consumers. Some
of the problems of marketing affecting the Nigeria agricultural system include poor transportation means, poor packaging and poor quality. If you have poor packaging system (making product look good and attractive to customers) and your competitor have a better
packaging system than you, then customers are more likely to buy from your competitor even if the qualities are the same. Good road are needed in order to effectively transport good from
one place to another. Unfortunately, the overall marketing system of the country is primitive. Departments that have been assign to build road and railways for transportation takes many years and sometimes up to a decade to get a network constructed because of corruption. Even the little road and rail constructed normally crumbles due to poor maintenance.

The present status of framework in numerous areas brought about the undeniable level of the relocation among physically fit young people. Young people would prefer not to remain in country zones in light of the fact that there is helpless framework and move to urban communities. Hence, the horticulture in towns loses its labor force which decreases its yields. Another model is awful streets, the circumstance with streets expands the expense and season of the transportation. A few products die during the transportation.

Most of the farmers harvest is lost annually during the processing. Among the main problems we see the lack of proper storage facilities, because of that, the harvest is attacked by pests and the storage conditions themselves reduce the quality of the crops. There is a low level of hybrid seedlings importation, and it is still not easy to get fertilizer subsidy. Today we see some government programs aimed to develop the agriculture sector, but in past years there were no qualitative programs to boost the sector.

The current state of infrastructure in many sectors resulted in the high level of the migration among able-bodied youths. Youths don’t want to stay in rural areas because there is poor infrastructure and move to cities. Because of that, the agriculture in villages loses its workforce which reduces its outputs. Another example is bad roads, the situation with roads increases the cost and time of the transportation. Some goods perish during the transportation.
