Abstract

Agriculture plays a foundational role to both individuals and nations alike. As the demand for food continues to increase, so is the need for agricultural development among nations. At the international front, World Trade Organization is the body charged with responsibility of regulating global trade and it does this through several agreements between member states. This study will examine the link between World trade Organisation and Agricultural Development in Nigeria from 2010-2018, focusing on the WTO Agreement on Agriculture with the objective of finding out if  the World Trade policies and rules increased agricultural production in Nigeria between 2010 and 2018. The study will utilize documentary method of data collection and the content analysis in carrying out this research. The research work will be anchored on Complex Interdependence Theory. Consequent on the findings, the researcher will recommend possible solutions and ways forward.
