Abstract
This article assesses the strategic grains reserves policy of Nigeria and suggests appropriate measures needed for its success. The article traces the historical development of this strategy for meeting emergency food needs and identifies factors which determine the scope of such a programme. Current and proposed grains production and capacity of storage silos are far from adequate. In spite of this, however, confidence can be placed in this strategy to increase the supply of grains provided certain remedial steps are taken. Some of these steps include timely release of funds and land, increased emphasis on production and price forecasting and improved coordination between the two agencies involved.
