Returning Nigeria To World's Leading Producer Of Oil Palm
Tips, Tricks
Nigeria's agricultural sector has suffered years of mismanagement, inconsistent and poorly conceived government policies and lack of basic infrastructure, yet it accounts for over 26.8 percent of the nation's GDP and 2/3 of employment. It is no longer a major exporter of cocoa, groundnuts (peanuts), rubber and oil palm production -which Nigeria led the world in- is now mostly from obsolete varieties and overage trees. Nigeria's oil palm production is stagnant at around 180,000 tons annually and 25 years ago it was 300,000 tons. An even more dramatic decline in groundnut and palm oil production also has taken place. While Nigeria is one of the world's largest producers of palm oil, it still remains a net importer of palm oil. In this episode of Earthfile, analysts argue how Nigeria should increase its production of oil palm, encourage importation and the need to share information in the sector and highlighting the potential for boosting the nation's economy by concentrating on the enterprise dynamics.

How many palm-oil scientists do we have in Nigeria now, compared to Malaysia? We are lacking behind because we never want to develop our scientific philosophy. See what the Malaysian palm-oil scientists are doing; you will be amazed.

If you have done the NIFORE Palm seedling as you were suppose to do you would have hard good result. The mentality of the some Nigerians. Look at the result between the man at 7:17 and 7:30 with the 7:17 knowing better how to plant the palm seedling more than the quick money making scheme of the man at 7:30. Let the people judge the difference.

Western countries have tried every way to destroy palm oil production(and other Asian and African produce) by first requiring it to be label as tropical fat to discourage its consumption. Now that is not working they are using environmental labelling to stop its export to western countries. African must remember the major world consumer of edible oil and other produce are the two largest Asian neighbor China and India, their fast development in this century will provide opportunity to break the stranglehold of western exploitation, the only thing that need to do is not listen to their lies and work together to break their control of pricing that serve only the rich nations in the west.
