Nigeria’s agricultural research institutes have continued to be the weak link in Nigeria’s drive to diversify the economy through the sector and make exponential gains by way of earnings, employment, and other spin-offs. This study therefore analyzed agricultural technology generating practices in Nigerian Stored Production Research Institute (NSPRI), Ilorin, Kwara state. Multistage sampling technique was used to select 57 researchers in NSPRI. Data for the study was collected through a well- structured questionnaire and analyzed with frequency counts, percentage, weighted mean score and ranking as main descriptive statistical tools, while Pearson product moment correlation (PPMC) inferential tool was used to make inference between the variables. The mean age of the researchers was 34 years, both male and female were researchers in NSPRI, all of the researchers were graduates of tertiary schools with a mean of 9 years of working experience.  Technology generated based on field problem and participation of extension agents in field research trials were ranked 1^st as technology generating practice available in NSPRI; improvement in quality of crop products was a major benefits derived from the technology generating practices; fund from government and grants were the major source of funds for NSPRI while poor funding and unsustainability of research findings were among the severe constraints encountered by researchers of NSPRI. Significant relationship exists between extent of funding research sources from government (r=0.406, p= 0.011); grants (r=0.313, p=0.015) and research institute (r=0.505, p=0.018) and the level of agricultural technology generating practices. This study concluded that NSPRI are generating agricultural technology practices for farmers use; hence it is recommended that sustainable funding should be made available for research institute as this will enhance food security in the country.
