You're typical Azania with typical bad education. We are talking FOOD or agricultural products.

Dude is not very bright.

This cooperative is near my home. Stop promoting flea dirty markets of KANO - and embrace proper formal agriculture.

Lol story for the gods.

When it’s comes to agriculture,Nigeria is a net exporter compared to those countries you listed. This is fact, go argue with your ancestors.

It's way too early to be inebriated with generator fumes.

It could the reason - seen those Nairobi street kids who inhale jet fuel and get high

Nigeria alone is a net agricultural importer of over $5 billion per year, while Angola, the DRC, and Somalia account for another $5 billion per year combined.Dec 14, 2020

Unpacking the misconceptions about Africa's food imports.

In short - You are Africa BIGGEST importer in stuff you can grow - this LOWEST HANGING FRUIT - and of course WORLD

since u want absolutely number rather than percentage, we spent roughly #1.9t or $2.7b. but Kenya spent ksh103b, which is roughly $834m.

Now, figure that we have 4x ur population and u get ur answer.

But for better understanding, our food import is 11% of our imports while urs is 16%.

rvp2018:
Heckling. Nigeria, DRC and Angola are NET FOOD importers in Africa.

Nigeria,china are net importers of food just as much as they are net exporters. Quit heckling,you sound like a broken record.

gallivant:
Nairobi

Enugu

But we export more food - about 5B roughly

Pointless hallucinations. Pls stay focused.

AfriqueDuZuid:


This is embarrassing to say the least, Kenya feeding Europe imagines Kenya get food from Uganda and Tanzania.

Kenya is not even largest food exporter in Africa to start with

In east Africa you mean to say.

Never mind his spurious claims,I wholeheartedly take them with a pinch of salt.

rvp2018:

ode, u really believe u export more food than Nigeria?

rvp2018:
There is space for farmers market - but farmers, consumers and exporters - will benefit more if you formalize the sector. Nigeria with it's huge arable land would be exporter of agri products if it did that. Look at kenya with tiny slice of arable land.

The big difference kenya inherited a colonial formal agriculture sector that was built on cooperatives and grew it.

Nigeria can do this. India has Amul - the big dairy coop. China has ALL-CHINA FEDERATION OF SUPPLY AND MARKETING - cooperative - for it's farmers. Kenya has KTDA. Ghana has their Cocoa board. Etc. These are cooperatives that can grow the domestic market and even grow export market.

You can organize farmers into cooperatives. Dont celebrate flea markets. With formalized cooperative based smallholder farming - you will feed Nigeria - and the world.

Nigeria is a big agricultural top wig not to mention one of Africa’s net food exporters. Whether or not the market is flea or organize is not the point,the point has been driven home already. Stop splitting hairs and take a break.

theenchanter:
Nigeria is not the largest importer of food in the continent. No longer the largest importer since our agricultural revolution in 2015.

Thanks for this.

He said Kenya exports more food products than it imports. Seems like you have a comprehension problem.

rvp2018:

Lol that must be the value of your entire net export not food export. The Kenya I know have never had a trade surplus. You import about $17bn -20bn(of which food takes up half of it) every and your export entire export is just a paltry $5bn.

gallivant:

Madness.
You have always been a trade deficit zoo. Quit the fumes inhalation.

rvp2018:
Wild guess

Stop being hateful. You're not even hiding it at this point... Always downplaying anything good about 9ja even if it comes with facts

gallivant:

I only asked that for him to see the correlation. If he believes Kenya export more food than it imports and he knows Nigeria surely exports more food than Kenya, how would he not see that Nigeria also export more food than it imports?

samorobo:

Stop heckling. Use NEPA generator power wisely.

You alleged export to where? Niger and Chad

You are getting carried away. If Nigeria exports more and someone claimed otherwise, just prove it without emotions. No no need for correlations, comparisons and mudslinging each other.

I mean this food exported on it's way to Accra now

What is there to prove? I treat mor0ns like mor0ns, no need to prove anything to mor0ns.

rvp2018:
Yes kenya feed Europe. Every European supermarket stock kenya vegetables and fruits. Almost every tea brewed outside China and Kenya is from Kenyan farmer. Our exports have now risen close to 7B dollars. About 5 billion is food.

Again which fruits and vegs?

Look up what you export and to which countries

rvp2018:
You're typical Azania with typical bad education. We are talking FOOD or agricultural products.

your food exports is very low

rvp2018:
Horticulture - vegetables, fruits and nuts - make the bulk of kenya export.

Nah

rvp2018:
We import mainly maize from Uganda and Tanzania. We ran small deficit. Otherwise export more food. Kenya economy is built on agriculture.

maize is Kenya staple food


So the feeding you, you can't survive without it. But Europe can suivive without flowers tea and coffee
