Nigeria: Export Rubber, Cocoa, Palm Oil to U.S. – EU

The European Union (EU) has urged Nigeria to increase export of agricultural produces like rubber, cocoa and palm oil to the EU countries

The Head of EU Delegation to Nigeria and ECOWAS, Mr Michel Arrion, stated this at a press conference on commemorate the 40 years of EU-Nigeria partnership on Wednesday in Abuja.

Arrion said there were potential exports, which Nigeria could develop in commercial quantities for export, lamenting that such exports to the EU were currently in low quantities.

He also said that there was the need for the price of Nigerian products to be competitive.

“You (Nigeria) have to be competitive, I mentioned palm oil; I see a potential market for palm oil exportation from Nigeria to EU if the prices are competitive.”
