  "summary": "The United Nations has reported that women constitute approximately 70% of the workforce involved in food crop production, processing, and commercialisation in Nigeria. Despite their significant contributions, women face numerous constraints, including limited access to land, finance, technology, markets, and productive resources. The UN highlighted this issue during a press conference in Abuja to commemorate the International Year of the Woman Farmer 2026, emphasizing the need for inclusive policies and investments to empower women farmers and build resilient agrifood systems.",
