EXCLUSIVE: Nigeria’s decade-long wheat production so woeful 98% is imported Nigeria s trade report shows wheat was the country s second most imported item in the second and third quarters of 2020. 3 min read Nigeria’s wheat production has been so dismal that for a decade the country only managed to produce just about two per cent of all the wheat it consumed. Data from the United States Department of Agriculture shows that between 2010 and 2020, as the consumption level of wheat rose, the country failed to grow more wheat, instead it closed the shortfall in supply by significantly importing more wheat. On average, the country produced just 2.06 per cent of the total amount of wheat consumed during that period.
