Structural Adjustment and Nigerian Agriculture: An Initial Assessment

Abstract

Nigeria's structural adjustment program (SAP) appears, on balance, to have favorably affected Nigerian agricultural production, prices, employment, and agriculture's contributions to gross domestic product and foreign exchange earnings. However, the negative effects on food consumption, trade, and socioeconomic factors have tended to undermine gains from SAP. Some of these effects are partly attributable to the ban on certain food imports that, although not formally part of SAP, have continued in effect after SAP ended in 1988. Removal of such trade barriers would result in a rapid rise of U.S. exports to Nigeria.
