Nigeria: Exporter Guide Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   NI2024-0009
Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa, with a relatively young and urbanizing populace. While there are clear food and agricultural export opportunities, the weakened economy is still making its way out of a very difficult 2023. Consumers are contending with food price inflation, and wages have not kept pace with the increase in living costs. However Nigerians, especially in cities, have favorable views of imported food and agricultural products, and domestic food processors seek stable supplies of food ingredients to bridge domestic production gaps. This report serves as a guide for U.S. exporters seeking to export U.S. food, beverages, and agricultural products to Nigeria. It provides an overview of the market, import food standards & regulations, import procedures, market trends, and useful contacts.
