Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has launched a ₦500 billion agricultural initiative called “Produce for Lagos” to tackle food insecurity and improve access to affordable, nutritious food across the state. This large-scale off-taker program aims to strengthen the state’s food supply chain through interstate partnerships and private sector investment. The initiative seeks to reduce post-harvest losses, curb food inflation, and lessen health-related issues caused by poor nutrition and food shortages. Lagos State will partner with food-producing states to bridge the gap in food supply and ensure long-term food security. The program will leverage private sector investment to support agribusiness financing and de-risk investment in the food value chain.
