Nigeria: Overview of the Dairy Market and US Export Opportunities

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   NI2025-0012
While Nigeria has a long history of subsistence-based milk production, urbanization is driving increased consumption of non-traditional dairy products. In 2024, most of the $267 million in dairy product imports entered as powdered milk and cream, which are then reconstituted into diverse dairy products. The market is price-sensitive, so importers prefer fat-filled (i.e., blended with vegetable fats) milk powder due to its favorable retail price. U.S. exporters may find opportunities to supply powdered milk, infant formula, whey protein, lactose, and other specialty dairy ingredients to food processors. This report provides an overview of Nigeria’s dairy industry and describes market opportunities for U.S. exporters.
