In the current economic conditions in most countries of the world the agrarian sector is the most volatile sector. Its development is influenced by both internal and external factors. This is especially true for Nigeria, where more than 60% of the country's population works. There is a food shortage in the country, both in cities and in rural areas. The main objective of the study was to identify and systematize the main factors affecting agricultural production not only in Nigeria but also in other countries. We distinguish the following factors: pricing influence, monopsonic market development, farmers' low income. Key problems faced by agriculture in any countryare environmental costs associated with intensification of agricultural production. Based on the analysis, we try to find ways to minimize the negative impact of these factors and suggest the following solutions.On the first hand, government intervention in the economy is needed, it is necessary to carry out agrarian reform, to establish links between local, regional and national public organizations to draw attention to farming problems. On the second hand, it is necessary to minimize prices through subsidies; this will increase both supply and demand in the market. Moreover, tariffs setting will protect domestic market of the country from imports and, thus,will also allow local production to develop. Agriculture can also be a source of fund necessary for industry development. The methods proposed can be used singly or in combination.
