Dry season farming is the practice of planting and cultivating crops during the dry season in Nigeria, usually between the month of October and March.

Due to the limited or lack of rainfall during this period, farmers depend heavily on irrigation systems to water their farms. This practice of farming has been encouraged by agricultural experts in order to improve food security levels in the country and the profitability of farmers.

In 2017, the Nigerian government distributed over 9.5 billion Naira worth of farm inputs to farmers for dry season farming. The scheme had a success rate of 92%.
