This paper discussed mechanics of agricultural product deterioration and preservation technologies in the in the era of agricultural transformation in Nigeria from the agribusiness perspective. It also focused on the measures of promoting appropriate preservation technologies in the rural areas in order to reduce product losses. The paper concluded that adoption of simple, effective and appropriate preservation technologies, government involvement in establishing more agro-processing centers/storage facilities and provision of micro credit facilities in the rural areas would ensure food security in Nigeria.
