Nigeria: an export market profile
1986
Mabbs-Zeno, C.
Extract: Nigeria's agricultural imports have grown more rapidly since 1974 than those of most other countries. About one-quarter of these imports have come from the United States, including almost all of Nigeria's imported grains, principally corn and wheat. By 1990, Nigeria may import almost 2.2 million tons of wheat annually, up from 1.5 million tons in 1983, and more than 750,000 tons of corn, up from just over 400,000 tons in 1983. Short-term debt repayment obligations limit immediate prospects for greater growth rates, but the large population (more than 90 million), established petroleum industry, and slowly developing agricultural sector assure substantial imports demand for many years for this market will challenge the U.S. market share, although the United States should remain a major supplier.
