Nigeria’s non-oil export value reached US$6.1 billion in 2025, marking an 11.5 per cent increase compared to US$5.46 billion in 2024, according to the Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC). This growth reflects the country’s expanding presence in global markets. This is reported by the
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), a partner of TV BRICS.
In terms of volume, total non-oil exports rose to 8.02 million metric tonnes, up 10 per cent from 7.29 million metric tonnes in 2024, covering 281 products across agriculture, processed goods, industrial inputs, and solid minerals.
Top destinations for Nigerian non-oil exports included Brazil (10.35 per cent) and India (7.63 per cent). Exports to Brazil increased by 19.07 per cent. NEPC highlighted that improved documentation, logistics, and strong global demand contributed to this performance.
In a similar trend across Africa, Egypt reported a 21 per cent increase in non-oil exports from January to September 2025, reaching US$36.6 billion. Growth was driven by sectors including building materials, chemicals and fertilisers, food products, electronics, and engineering.
Experts highlighted that supportive policies, improvements in logistics and documentation, and strengthened value chains contributed to the record results. Cocoa beans, urea, cashews, sesame seeds, gold dore, aluminium ingots, rubber, and copper ingots were among the top-performing export products, demonstrating the resilience and strategic importance of the non-oil export sector to Nigeria’s economy.
