Abstract
Challenges of kola nut production are low yield, lack of information on improved technology, pest and disease infestation, lack of intervention from the government, and transportation. Stored nuts were mainly attacked by weevils and rot disease. Notwithstanding, farmers in Nigeria producing States hold kola nut production in high esteem, and there is vast area of land which could be used for kola nuts production. However, there are untapped abundant resources and potential for expansion of production base and usage of products, packaging of kola nuts for export. There is need for upgrading and developing technology back up for the major commodity towards increasing production, trade/marketing, and improving the economic well-being of all stakeholders. More emphasis should be on institutionalizing of a sustainability structure for research and development, expanded production and provision of supportive policy on organized marketing and credit support to the principal partners in agricultural research for development that would be farmer centered and friendly. The report offers a comprehensive evaluation of processing, storage and marketing of kola nuts including by-products. It does so via in-depth qualitative insights, historical data, and verifiable projections about market size. By doing so, the research report serves as a repository of analysis and information for every facet of the market, including local and international markets.
