Who We Are

Advancing Agriculture Through Research and Innovation

The National Root Crops Research Institute, located in Umudike, Abia State, is the premier agricultural research institution in Nigeria. Its historical roots extend to an experimental farm inaugurated at Moor Plantation, Ibadan, on January 1, 1923, by the Nigerian Department of Agriculture. This initiative evolved with the establishment of the School of Agriculture in 1955. Subsequently, in 1956, these entities merged to form the Eastern Nigeria Agricultural Research and Training Station (ARTS), with its headquarters in Enugu.
