The U.S. Agricultural Counselor, Chris Bielecki, has projected that agricultural trade between Nigeria and the United States will surpass $700 million in 2025.
According to a statement posted on the U.S. Mission Nigeria’s X account on Tuesday, Bielecki made the disclosure during a visit to Apapa Port in Lagos alongside the U.S. Consul General, Rick Swart, where they witnessed the offloading of 50,000 metric tonnes of U.S.-grown wheat valued at about $15 million.
“In 2025, U.S.-Nigeria agricultural trade is on track to more than double to over $700 million, benefiting farmers, businesses, and consumers on both sides of the Atlantic,” Bielecki said.
He noted that Nigeria remains the third-largest export market for U.S. wheat, adding that the latest shipment was purchased by Flour Mills of Nigeria, one of the country’s major importers of American wheat.
Bielecki explained that agricultural trade between both countries not only supports U.S. farmers but also contributes to job creation in Nigeria through value-added processing, while providing Nigerian consumers with high-quality food products.
Previously U.S. purchases of Nigerian goods fell by about $615 million in the first eight months of the year following new tariffs introduced by President Donald Trump.
