Nigeria Millets Market Overview, 2028

Nigeria Millets Market Overview, 2028


Nigeria is one of the major producers of millet in Africa. Millets is a staple food for millions of people in Nigeria, especially in the northern part of the country. Millet is grown in a variety of agro-ecological zones in Nigeria, but it is most common in the semi-arid and sub-humid regions. The government of Nigeria is working to increase millet production in the country. They are providing farmers with improved seeds, fertilizers, and irrigation facilities. They are also working to promote the use of millet in processed foods. The main millet-producing states in Nigeria are Borno, Yobe, Jigawa, Katsina, and Sokoto. Millets are considered a nutritious grain, rich in fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals. Millets are naturally gluten-free, making them a suitable option for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. The increasing awareness of gluten-related health issues has contributed to the rising demand for gluten-free grains like millets. With the help of project HOPE (Harnessing Opportunities for Productivity Enhancement) Nigeria reported 21% productivity gains from package of improved practices in sorghum and 150% productivity gains from package of improved practices in pearl millet.

According to the research report ""Nigeria Millets Market Overview, 2028,"" published by Bonafide Research, the Nigeria Millets market is projected to reach market size of USD 1.16 Billion by 2028. As consumers in Nigeria increasingly prioritize healthier diets, the demand for millets as a healthier alternative to refined grains has been growing. The millet market in Nigeria is a dynamic and growing market. The regions of Nigeria with the highest consumption of millets are North-Western Nigeria, North-Central Nigeria, and North-Eastern Nigeria as these regions are located in the semi-arid and sub-humid zones of Nigeria, which are ideal for the cultivation of millet. The people in these regions have traditionally consumed millet as a staple food, and they continue to do so today.

Pearl millet is the most widely consumed type of millet in Nigeria. The main reason why pearl millet is more popular than other types of millet in Nigeria is because it is a drought-tolerant crop. This makes it suitable for cultivation in dry areas, which are common in Nigeria. Where as in the upcoming years other types of millets (Kodo millet, proso millet, barnyard millet) is anticipated to show growth. The consumption of conventional millets was generally more prevalent than organic millets, primarily due to factors such as availability, affordability, and market accessibility. Conventional millets are commonly found in regular grocery stores and markets, whereas organic millets might be limited to specialty stores or niche markets, making them less accessible to the broader population. When compared to their use in breakfast, drinks, baked goods, and direct consumption, ready-to-eat (RTE) millets are more frequently consumed. This is due to the fact that RTE millets are convenient and simple to cook, making them a popular option for individuals who are working. Millets are mostly available in traditional stores in Nigeria as compared to other distributional channels. This is because traditional stores are more common in Nigeria than other types of stores, and they are also more trusted by consumers. The distribution of millets in Nigeria is expected to change in the future. As more people become aware of the health benefits of millet, there will be an increase in demand for millet. This will lead to an increase in the number of distribution channels for millet, including online retailers, supermarkets, and hypermarkets. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the millet market in Nigeria. The pandemic has led to a number of challenges for the millet market, including decreased demand, increased prices, and challenges in transportation.
