GAIL expands wheat planting drive across 13 Nigerian states
Nigeria is stepping up efforts to raise local wheat output as pressure on food supplies keeps domestic production in focus. Great Agri Input Limited has launched the 2026-2027 wheat planting season in 13 states, combining seed supply with agronomic support for farmers.
Highlights
- Great Agri Input Limited (GAIL) launches the 2026-2027 wheat planting season across 13 Nigerian states to enhance domestic wheat production.
- GAIL provides local farmers with quality seeds and agronomic support, aiming to boost yields and promote sustainable agricultural practices.
- This planting initiative seeks to reduce Nigeria's reliance on imported wheat and improve food security by increasing local wheat supply.
Planting campaign targets higher local output
As reported by Businessday, Great Agri Input Limited, an FMN Agro company, is rolling out the 2026-2027 wheat planting season across 13 states as part of a broader push to strengthen domestic wheat production.The company says the programme is designed to help address food security challenges by expanding access to quality agricultural inputs and improving on-farm practices. The launch brings together stakeholders across the agricultural value chain and underscores GAIL's focus on raising wheat availability as a staple crop.
Farmer support and food security focus
GAIL is positioning the initiative around support for local farmers through the provision of quality seeds and agronomic guidance. The company says those measures are important for improving yields and promoting more sustainable farming methods.The expansion of wheat planting across multiple states highlights the role of private-sector input providers in Nigeria's effort to reduce reliance on imported grain. A wider domestic harvest could support supply resilience in the agriculture sector if farmers are able to translate the added support into stronger output.
