The Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC) has announced Cocoa beans and fertiliser as the leading non-oil products exported out of the country in the year 2024.

Speaking at the presentation of the 2024 Non-Oil Export Performance Report in Abuja over the weekend, Nonye Ayeni, Executive Director/CEO of NEPC, also reported a significant increase in the country’s non-oil export earnings for 2024, reaching a total of $5.456 billion, which represents a 20.77% rise from the $4.517 billion recorded in 2023.

She attributed the growth to increased production, improved global demand for Nigerian exports, supported by strategic trade partnerships.

Cocoa beans accounted for 30.55% of total non-oil exports, while Urea/Fertilizer contributed 15.74%, underscoring the pivotal role of agriculture and industrial exports in Nigeria’s economic diversification efforts,” she explained.
