Cowpea farming in Nigeria holds immense potential—not just as a staple food crop but as a key driver of income, nutrition, and agricultural transformation. Yet, many farmers continue to battle with low yields, pest outbreaks, poor seed selection, and post-harvest losses due to outdated practices and lack of reliable information.
Despite being one of the largest cowpea producers globally, Nigeria still struggles with productivity gaps and inconsistent quality across regions. But with the right knowledge, modern techniques, and business strategies, farmers can turn cowpea into a highly profitable venture.
