Hi Jide, Same way it can in any sector in any country. You need to understand what a SWOT is, if you just work through an analysis yourself, you will answer your own question, and that is a beautiful thing! Go to the top right of this page, click on "Search Questions" and then enter in SWOT. There are many questions/answers/links in the KHE archives to help you through this. If, after doing this, you have specific questions about how to interpret your analysis, please come back and post them, that is how we can be of the most benefit. Good Luck.

Hi Jide, First of all, check out this link to figure out what SWOT is in case you dont know: http://www.quickmba.com/strategy/swot/ To conduct a swot of the agricultural sector in Nigeria, find out about all the internal and external factors that affect the agricultural sector and then segregate them into strengths, weaknes..... etc. For example, if the agriculture in Nigeria is heavily dependent on a good monsoon and lacks proper water harvesting or irrigation facilities, it would be considered to be its weakness. Imports of better quality and cheaper foodgrains would be considered to be a threat. Using hybrid seeds to grow high quality crops could be an opputunity. I hope this answers your question.
