Nigeria is seeking to revitalize its agricultural sector, particularly cocoa, in the face of falling crude oil revenues and rising global cocoa prices. The country, which is the world's fourth-largest cocoa producer, according to the International Cocoa Organization, has been outperformed by neighboring Ivory Coast and Ghana. The government is taking steps to establish a national cocoa authority and boost infrastructure and support for the industry. However, challenges such as banditry, conflicts between farmers and herders, lack of financing, smuggling, and the practice of exporting raw cocoa instead of processing it domestically need to be addressed. Nigeria is at a crossroads, where it can either diversify its economy by investing in cocoa or continue to rely heavily on oil, risking losing in the global agribusiness market.
