About the Ministry
The Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security (FMAFS), formerly known as the The Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (FMARD), was established in 1966 with a clear vision to ensure food security and promote agricultural sustainability in Nigeria.
With a focus on empowering farmers, facilitating market access, and promoting sustainable practices, we strive to cultivate a resilient and prosperous agricultural sector.
