Abstract

Nigeria, the most populous country in Africa, has an economy based on production of raw materials, chiefly agricultural commodities and petroleum. Important agricultural exports include cocoa, peanuts, palm kernels, rubber, cotton, and hides and skins. Production of large quantities of yams, cassava, cocoyams , sorghum, millet, plantains and bananas, corn, edible cowpeas , palm oil, kolanuts , and other crop and livestock products enable the country to be largely self-sufficient for food. Major food imports include wheat, milk and cream, and sugar. Agricultural imports from the United States include wheat and flour, dried milk and cream, cereal preparations, and tobacco.
