Contact for AvailabilityAgriculture in Ogun State: Overview
Ogun State is one of Nigeria's most strategically positioned agricultural states. Located in the southwestern corner of Nigeria, bordered by Lagos to the south and Oyo to the north, the state benefits from bimodal rainfall (two distinct rainy seasons), fertile soils ranging from deep loams in the uplands to alluvial deposits along the Ogun River valley, and outstanding market access due to its proximity to Lagos — home to over 20 million people and Africa's largest city.
Agriculture contributes significantly to Ogun State's economy. The state produces cassava, yam, plantain, maize, cocoa, oil palm, sugarcane, and pineapple, and raises significant numbers of poultry, livestock, and fish. Key agricultural zones include:
Abeokuta Agricultural Zone
The Abeokuta area — including Alabata, Odeda, and Ewekoro — is one of the most productive agricultural zones in Ogun State. Deep loamy soils, reliable rainfall, and proximity to Lagos and Ibadan markets make this zone ideal for cassava, plantain, yam, and poultry farming.
- Key crops: Cassava, plantain, yam, vegetables
- FUNAAB agricultural research hub nearby
- Active OGADEP extension network
Ijebu Agricultural Zone
The Ijebu zone (Ijebu-Ode, Sagamu, Ikenne) is known for pineapple, cocoa, oil palm, and rubber cultivation. Good road infrastructure connects farms to Lagos markets. Olam International has operations in Sagamu.

Why Ogun State is Ideal for Commercial Farming
1. Bimodal Rainfall Pattern
Ogun State receives two distinct rainy seasons: the long rains (April–July) and the short rains (September–November). This bimodal pattern allows farmers to plant twice per year for crops like cassava, plantain, and vegetables, maximising land utilisation and providing more frequent income cycles.
2. Proximity to Nigeria's Largest Market
Ogun State shares borders with Lagos State, giving farmers direct access to Nigeria's largest urban food market. The Lagos metropolitan area (20+ million people) has an insatiable appetite for fresh food, processed agricultural goods, and animal products. AgroZamani's Alabata farm is approximately 60km from Lagos Island — well within the radius for same-day fresh produce delivery.
3. Fertile, Diverse Soils
Ogun State's soils range from deep, well-drained loamy soils in the uplands (ideal for yam, cassava, and plantain) to fertile alluvial deposits along the Ogun River valley (suited to vegetables and rice). The state's geology supports a wide variety of crops without requiring extensive soil amendment.
4. Infrastructure and Connectivity
The Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, the Sagamu-Ore Road, and the expanding Abeokuta road network provide excellent connectivity for moving produce from farm to market. The Ogun-Guangdong Free Trade Zone and the expanding Agbara Industrial Estate create agro-processing opportunities within the state.
5. Government Support for Agriculture
The Ogun State Agricultural Development Programme (OGADEP) provides extension services, subsidised inputs, and technical support to commercial farmers. The state government actively promotes agricultural investment through its Ministry of Agriculture and has programs targeting young agribusiness entrepreneurs — including those who, like AgroZamani's founder, are building commercial farming enterprises from the ground up.
