AB  - This study examines the state of food crisis that occurred in Niger Republic in year 2005 as a result of poor rains. It focuses on the Nigerien agricultural sector and economy vis-à-vis the Nigerian agricultural and economic development. While, noting the trend in Nigerian food sector, this study contends that the food crisis in Niger triggered by inadequacy of water resources is a clear indicator of poverty. Thus, Nigeria her neighbour has  policy  implications  to  derive  and  useful lessons to learn from the Nigerien experience. It recommends inter-basin transfer of water and improvement of water infrastructure and technology as possible solutions to Nigerian rain-fed agriculture.
