  • Why did Lagos State create a coconut agency?
  • The decision to create the Agency was informed by the fact that Coconut is the main cash crop of Lagos State and also, the State has comparative advantage for its production, processing and utilization. As such, Coconut was thereby excised from other tree crops in the State so as to give it more attention among other things.
  • What is Lagos State Coconut Development Authority?
  • Lagos State Coconut Development Authority is a parastatal of the State’ Ministry of Agriculture that was established by Lagos State Executive Council Order, on Wednesday, 15th May, 1996.
  • Will Lagos State become the world's top coconut producer?
  • “This could be tripled to Naira 360 billion worth of transaction volume with value addition and will further ensure Lagos state contributes significantly to making Nigeria among the top ten world coconut producing country, thus moving up from the present nineteenth position,” Hon. Olusanya pointed out.
  • How many coconuts did Nigeria import last year?
  • Last year, Nigeria imported more than 500,000 tonnes of coconuts to process into products such as oils, food and beverages, official figures show. I visited a farm a mere two-hour drive from the capital Abuja to see how a couple – Ray Davies and her husband, retired army Major General John Davies – branched out into coconut farming.
