“According to NEPC Director-General, Mrs. Nonye Ayeni, the export volume also rose to 4.04 million metric tonnes, up from 3.83 million metric tonnes in H1 2024.
“The top export products for the period were:
•Cocoa beans – 34.88% of total export value
•Urea/Fertiliser – 17.65% of total export value
“A total of 236 different products were exported, representing a 16.83% increase in diversity compared to 202 distinct products in H1 2024. These include agricultural commodities, extractive products, and semi-processed/manufactured goods, with a growing shift towards value-added exports.
“The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) has also facilitated wider market access and tariff relief for Nigerian exporters, while NEPC’s export intervention programmes — including capacity-building, market linkage initiatives, and quality improvement support — have enhanced visibility of Nigerian goods globally.
“These gains align with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, advancing economic diversification, boosting foreign exchange earnings, and strengthening Nigeria’s position in global trade.”
