In 2025 so far , over $3.2 billion worth of non-oil goods left our shores.
That’s more than N5 trillion shipped in some months alone.
Our products reached every continent, the Netherlands, the USA, India, and AfCFTA trade is finally making waves across Africa.
Sounds like a win, right?
Here’s the truth: 70% of those benefiting are foreigners.
Last year, agricultural exports brought in trillions.
But foreign middlemen took the lion’s share, leaving real farmers with barely enough to survive, not enough to grow.
Look at the leaderboard:
Olam, Nigeria’s largest non-oil exporter, is controlled by Singapore’s Sovereign Wealth Fund.
Indorama Eleme Fertiliser and Starlink Global come second and third, both foreign-run.
Our biggest supply chain players are Indians, Chinese, Lebanese, Dutch, not Nigerians.
So most of this money never flows back to build our farms or factories.
Grassroots Farmers don’t see dividends.
Local processors can’t expand.
Meanwhile, exports push food prices up at home, but no direct investment cushions those costs or secures local food supply.
The skills, systems, and market control sit in boardrooms from America to China to Europe, not here.
This is a call to Nigerians with capital, from millionaires to those who can pool resources.
That new car can wait.
That holiday can wait.
That extra house can wait.
Gather your family and friends.
Find foreign partners if you must.
Pool your resources.
Get into the agro value chain, from farm, to processing, all the way to the port.
You Think this is only for giant companies? It’s not.
Many started small — one farm, one warehouse, one idea.
They found their niche, moved fast, and scaled.
All you need is vision and speed.
It’s time for us to own it, so progress like this can directly impact our people.
Because if Nigerians don’t own the chain, Nigerians don’t own the gain, and we won’t control our food prices, our jobs, or our future.
It’s time to contribute your own quota. Start small. Grow big. Own a faming estate. Pineapple faming is creating an opportunity to make money and huge impact.
