This is an interesting report from Pricewaterhouse Coopers on Nigeria's Agriculture value chain with a special focus on the Cocoa and Diary Industry as focus. The report lists important statistics that can help entrepreneurs consider areas of investments, potential risks and directions for long term planning. For example, Nigeria imports the follwong that clearly can be produced here:
$1.46 billion worth of fish,
$1.07 billion worth of wheat,
$373 million of sugar, molases and honey
$297 milk and cream
$250 fixed vegetable fats and oil
The report notes that the value chain of Nigeria is HIGHLY underdeveloped and there are so many areas of opportunities. it gives example of Brazil that generated 16million jobs through developing the value chain. It further discusses the challenges of the sector and the prospects. I think it is it a good source of information to all farmers and agroprenuers.
