Abstract
The vegetable sector in Nigeria is experiencing rapid development, holding significant implications for small-scale farmers, entrepreneurs, businesses, and consumers. The HortiNigeria program, funded by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, aims to foster a sustainable and inclusive horticulture sector in Nigeria. This document presents the results of a performance assessment conducted in Oyo and Ogun states in April 2023. The assessment employs an integrated sector and food system framework to understand challenges and opportunities. Key stakeholders, including government bodies, producers, private sector, and research institutions, participate in surveys and focus group discussions. The results inform the identification of challenges, ambitions, and strategic actions to drive sector transformation.
