Abstract
This paper aims to review the impact of climate change on Nigeria's agribusiness value chain. In this study, the researcher reviewed recent and popular academic journals in the area of climate change and agricultural value chains. This review process aims to strengthen the existing literature in this field of study. After carefully reviewing the literature, the paper revealed that the change in the global climate has a significant impact on the agribusiness value chain. The Nigerian agricultural value chain consists of the pre-upstream, up-stream, mid-stream, and down-stream. All the streams are directly or indirectly affected by climate change. The climate change impact varies across the value chain; it affects each stream with a different magnitude. The review also revealed that climate change has a significant effect on the food production value chain with a higher impact on pre-upstream and upstream when compared to mid and downstream. Suggestions presented in this paper include focusing on greenhouse gas reduction, practicing precision farming, using a reusable source of energy, taking advantage of IoT, and climate-smart agricultural technologies. This review will help the value chain stakeholders to understand how to achieve sustainability on the value chain and understand how to mitigate or adapt to climate change impacts.

Summary
Nigeria is a country located in the western part of Africa. The country is predominantly an agricultural nation. The majority of the population is in one way or the other engaged in the agribusiness value chain [1]. According to [2], in 2017, the agricultural sector contributed to 20.95% of the gross domestic product because the industry is one of the major sources of export, second after oil. Nigerian economy took a hit from the declining income and revenue generation from oil and gas in the year 2015. The highly unfortunate event forced the government to diversify and expand other sources such as agribusiness in order to help revitalize and boost the economy once again
