Abstract
Nigeria is an agricultural state with more than seventy percent of its population depends on
agriculture as a means of subsistence and contribute to forty two percent to the country’s
economy, yet majority of farmers have no access to fertilizer despite series of efforts to make it
available to local farmers. The work is set to examine how LGs in Kaduna state deliver fertilizer
to farmers and the challenges associated with the distribution. The results indicated that in
adequate fertilizer at the local level is largely due to the politicization of the distribution and
suggested adequate support of local fertilizer companies in the country, prudent fertilizer
distribution and the need for government at all level to increase their support on fertilizer
supply.
