    The minister explained that Nigeria would learn from Israeli expertise in science-based agricultural development.
     
    He also announced that Nigeria would participate in the 2018 edition of Agritec Israel– an International Agricultural Fair to be held in May.
     
    “This will afford Nigeria the opportunity to showcase its agricultural potentials to the outside world with a view to attracting foreign investment in agriculture and allied agri-business”, he said.
     
    Though over half of Israeli soil is semi-arid and only 20 per cent is actually arable, the Middle East country produces 95 percent of its food requirements.
