This study will seek to explore the disruptions and enhancements that can occur in the agricultural supply chains of the United States of America and Nigeria, which can cause the butterfly effect and subsequently affect economic results in both countries. Using case studies, economic modeling, and a qualitative analysis of government documents and academic sources, this comparative study explores the link between agriculture and other industries in the US and Nigeria. According to the paper, there is need for proactive administrative interferences and advocacy for technological advancement in efforts to enhance supply chain robustness against future shocks such as climate change, trade policies or pandemics. Responding to the negative economic externalities and maximizing the potential benefits entails comprehending how minor events in agriculture can cause ripple effects throughout the economy.
