  • How has Nigeria's palm oil production changed over the last 10 years?
  • Within the last 10 years, Nigeria’s palm oil production has increased, but the impact is yet to be felt in the country’s local consumption demand and global market ranking order. In the 1950s, Nigeria generated about 43 per cent of the world’s total production. The production satisfied local demand, and the excess was exported.
