Nigeria is one of the largest producers of palm  oil in the world, with 80% of the country's production coming from smallholder farmers. The traditional steps  of palm oil  production in Nigeria  include:
  • Harvesting palm fruits from trees
  • Collecting palm  fruit bunches
  • Breaking the bunches into smaller pieces called  spikes
  • Removing palm fruits from the  spikes
Boiling
Some of the challenges  in the development of the palm oil sector in Nigeria  include:
  • Lack of access to high-quality inputs  such as fertilizers and planting  materials
  • Unreliable distribution of inputs to  farms
  • Weak systems  to identify farmers  in need  of subsidized  inputs
  • Land issues  related to land ownership or  long-term leases
  • Expansion of  palm oil plantations threatening  the rainforest ecosystem
Growth in palm oil production in Nigeria has largely stagnated in recent years, while local demand has  increased. This creates a gap  between supply and demand that  can be a profitable investment  opportunity.
