Nigeria’s Strategic Export Edge

Nigeria stands out as one of the world’s leading raw cashew producers, yielding between 200,000 and 240,000 metric tonnes annually—with about 85% of that exporte. Major producing states include Kogi, Kwara, Ogun, Enugu, Abia, Oyo, Benue, and Enugu

Meeting Global Quality Benchmarks

Global buyers expect consistent grading and quality:

• Nut counts range between 165–190 per kg, depending on the grading system, with similar foreign matter and moisture standards
• Nigeria’s nuts are favored for their favorable kernel output, making them highly competitive in pricing and value

Export Chain & Logistics

• Harvested nuts are sun-dried and graded to reduce moisture—ensuring freshness upon export
• Export documentation includes certificates of origin, phytosanitary certificates, quality reports, commercial invoices, and bills of lading
• Ports of loading are typically Lagos or Port Harcourt, with logistics and documentation handled by experienced freight partners

Economic Impact & Value Addition

• Nigeria’s raw cashew exports are a significant source of foreign revenue—valued in the hundreds of millions of dollars—and provide livelihoods for hundreds of thousands
• Yet beyond raw exports, limited processing within the country means Nigeria misses out on substantial value—cashew kernels can fetch up to three times the price when processed locally
• Organizations like the African Cashew Alliance are advocating for increased in-country processing, which could boost incomes across the value chain
