THE CONVERSATION | Nigeria’s Food Crisis – Production Problem or Preservation Failure?
Description
On the 21st of March 2026, Oiza sits down with Alexander Isong, President of the Organization for Technology Advancement of Cold Chain in West Africa (OTACCWA), for a critical and solution-driven discussion on Nigeria’s food crisis.
The conversation interrogates a pressing question — is the challenge truly about insufficient production, or is it a failure in preservation, storage, and distribution systems? Drawing from expertise in cold chain technology, the episode explores how post-harvest losses, weak infrastructure, and inefficiencies across the supply chain continue to undermine food security.
Insightful and forward-thinking, this episode sheds light on practical pathways to reducing waste, improving access, and rethinking how Nigeria feeds itself.
