Farm Gate Prices of Nigeria Coco Beans
Nigeria has a deregulated cocoa sector where each state sets its own farm gate price. In March 2024, however, global shortage forced a nationwide rise in prices. Business Day newspaper reported a March 2024 producer price appreciation of up to 6.5 million naira ($5,206.5) per tonne. The earlier farm gate price in January 2024, however, was less than 1.3 million naira ( $1,128) a tonne in Ondo State and other bulk-producing states.
Cocoa Growing Regions in Nigeria
Nigeria derives 70% of its cocoa from the southwestern states. These include Ondo, Cross River State, Ekiti, Oyup, Ogun and Osun. Cocoa cultivation has been rooted in these regions since the crop's colonial period introduction in 1805. Before Nigeria started commercial production of crude oil in 1958, cocoa used to be the leading economic mainstay and it still is after petroleum.
Production of raw cocoa beans in Nigeria reached 280,000 tonnes in the 2022-23 market year while that of the 2023-24 year was 270,000 tonnes. Given that the bulk of this output is exported, cocoa beans accounted for 26.23% of all agricultural exports from Nigeria between January and September 2023.
The main cocoa season runs from October through December and accounts for 70% of all cocoa beans, while the April to June mid-crop season provides the remainder.
