The Lagos State Ministry of Agriculture and Food Systems has opened registration for farmers across the state under its new Produce for Lagos Programme, an initiative designed to strengthen food security and expand agricultural partnerships.
According to the Ministry, the programme aims not only to boost food production within Lagos but also to establish sustainable collaborations with farmers in key food-producing states across Nigeria. Officials explained that the dual approach will help bridge the supply gap, stabilize food prices, and ensure a steady inflow of essential commodities into the state.
As part of the initiative, registered farmers will be incorporated into a central database. This database will serve as the primary tool for policy planning, the distribution of support services, and targeted interventions, ensuring that resources reach the right beneficiaries.
The Ministry has urged all farmers operating within Lagos to complete their registration promptly through the official portal: http://bit.ly/48dAWiI.
The government reiterated its commitment to empowering local farmers, supporting agribusiness growth, and reducing dependence on external food supplies, with the Produce for Lagos Programme expected to become a cornerstone of the state’s agricultural policy in the coming years.
