TRADE LIBERALISATION AND FOOD SECURITY: AN ASSESSMENT OF THE IMPACT OF WTO ON AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION IN NIGERIA 1999 – 2007
Abstract:
The research work is on the impact of trade liberalisation as articulated by the WTO and its implication for food security in Nigeria. Using 1999-2007 as a period of study, the research set out to show that both the trade liberalisation policy and government practices constitute challenges to food security in Nigeria. If anything they are mere reactions to a more fundamental problem, that is the disconnect between policy and practice and the use of skewed and faulty statistics in analysing food security problems in Nigeria. The research made enquiries such as to what extent Nigeria can be considered food secured; to know the impact of policy and practice on food security; and the socio-economic implications of trade on agriculture and food security in Nigeria. The method of data collection included interviews, documentary methods, structured questionnaires to farmers and household. The method of data analysis was the quantitative and descriptive methods .Simple percentages were used to present the data. The research reveals that trade liberalisation is not the panacea for food security in Nigeria, if anything; the country needs to devise a strategy to counterthe problems of agriculture and in turn bring about food security in Nigeria. The link between agriculture and industry and, public private partnership in all ramifications which ensure increased agricultural productivity should be encouraged. Thereafter, a review of trade liberalisation policy would now be of benefit and interest to Nigeria.
