  • With imports of food & packaging technology of €304 million in 2023, Nigeria is Africa's second largest importer, after South Africa with €398 million and ahead of Algeria with €296 million and Egypt with €281 million. (VDMA 2024)
  • The enormous population growth from 206 million in 2022 to 411 million in 2050 demands high sustainable investments in Nigeria’s food industry.

  • Despite significant investments in local food production, Nigeria’s food imports totaled US$6.1bn in 2023, positioning the nation as one of Africa's foremost food importers. Nigerian food exports made up for US$2.2bn. (WTO)
