Beyond agricultural productivity, economies all over are now focusing on the operational connectivity issues linking farmers with processors, retailers and other value chain syndicates. The hallmark is for sustainability in food production, distribution and containing the effects of climate change. This is in line with the United Nations’ agenda towards the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 2 and 13. All these have consequences on Urban Regeneration and Sustainability on the global economy. Consequently, the study investigates Agricultural Value Chain Determinants and Sustainable Economic Growth in Nigeria. It garnered time series from World Development Index, Central Bank of Nigeria and National Bureau of Statistics on key variables of Sustainable Economic Growth, Small and Medium Scale Enterprises, Trade openness to Agricultural, Insurance to the Agricultural Sector, Road Transport Infrastructure, and Demand for Staple processed Food Products, Weather condition and Access to Digital Technology. It deployed the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) Bounds Co-integration test model for estimation. Results reveal the following: there is a significant long run relationship existing between the dependent variable and the independent variables of the model; Insurance to the agricultural sector and access to digital technology in Nigeria were the most significant short run determinants of sustainable economic growth. The study concluded thus: a long run relationship existing between the dependent variable and the independent variables of the model implies good fortune for the economic prosperity of Nigeria. Demand for staple processed food products which exerted significant positive long run influences on sustainable economic growth in Nigeria is clear indication that growth trajectory with respect to agricultural value chain, can be enhanced through urban regeneration. It is therefore recommended that government fiscal policy with respect to the agricultural sector should be sustained.
