Since its formation, AFO has been working to give insights into the Saharan Africa market by providing accurate and timely information on the fertilizer trade market, prices, and policies. On March 5-6, Nigeria held the first FTWG to validatre the country's 2023 fertilizer statistycs and consumption. The data that will support decision making in both private and public sector was generated and validated by Nigerian fertilizer industry actors under guidance of Africanfertilizer. In the two days meeting, key highlights include increased quantity of NPK fertilizers from 553,639MT in 2022 to 674,863.40 MT in 2023, increase in urea production, and increase in importation and exportation. Key comments in the meeting are exclusion of limestone figures in the validation process, need to strategize to improve fertilizer consumption for increased food production and need for collaboration between the federal government and FEPSAN in order to regulate activities to ensure the industry remains vibrant and grows over time. | |
