  • How oil seeds research & development works in Nigeria?
  • Currently, oilseeds research and development work across Nigeria is leading to increase productivity and efficiency of oil seeds processing ¨Csoybean and peanut particularly. FAS Lagos¡¯ estimates and projections for all the categories of oil seeds and products for 2021/22 are higher than the USDA estimates of previous year.
  • Why do Nigerian vegetable oil refiners prefer palm kernel oil?
  • As a result of the above, Nigerian vegetable oil refiners prefer palm kernel oil as raw material. Demand for vegetable oils in Nigeria is estimated at 1,968,500 tonnes, taking into account a per capita consumption of 12.7 kg and a population of 155 million in 2009 (WDI, 2011).
  • Is Nigeria self-sufficiency in oil palm production?
  • Nigeria continues to strive for self-sufficiency in oil palm production. Currently, production remains stable. Meanwhile, demand for palm oil outweighs supply. Nigeria meets the supply gap in oil palm through imports from Malaysia, China, and Côte d¡¯Ivoire.
  • How are Nigeria's oil seeds & products markets changing?
  • Nigeria¡¯s oil seeds and products markets are changing rapidly as demographic changes occur due to the country¡¯s youth and middle-class population growth. The three major utilization channels (Food consumption, industrial use, and feed usage) are undergoing robust growth rates.
  • What frying oil is used in Nigeria?
  • Indeed, locally produced frying oils are mainly blends of palm kernel oil and palm oil. Palm olein found in the Nigerian market is smuggled products from Ghana, Cameroon, and Republic of Benin. Banga sauce is used for the preparation of Banga soup, a local food delicacy.
  • Why is palm kernel oil so popular in Nigeria?
  • The Nigerian vegetable oil market uniquely features palm kernel oil packaged for household and commercial food frying. More than 60% of refineries in Nigeria are built on palm kernel oil as raw materials. This is because processing of palm kernel oil involves degumming, bleaching, deodorization, cooling, and packaging.
