The various administrations realize the immense importance of agriculture as the major source of employment in the State, particularly in the rural areas where the economy is still at the subsistence level. The state is a repository of agricultural potential because of its land texture and congenial climate.
The predominantly agricultural areas are Anambra East and West, Aguata,Awka North, Ayamelum, Oyi, Ogbaru, Orumba North and South Local Government Areas, while the various sub sectors of agriculture like crops, livestock, fisheries and forestry are areas of agricultural potentials.
