Abstract: Fishery, crop and livestock production are an important aspect of agricultural production. Increasing resources pre-supposes increase productivity, food consumption, healthy living, employment and food security. A simple multiple regression model is used to analyse the data between 1981 and 2017 to reveal the contributions of fishery, crop and livestock resource to agricultural production growth in Nigeria. The 37 year period revealed that the variables were stationary, individually and jointly significantly to Agricultural output (AGOUT). The independent variables jointly explained 75% of AGOUT while the remaining 25% could be due to the effect of extraneous variables not captured in the model.
