Nigeria: Planned Livestock Sector Reforms Could Lead to Trade Opportunities

In 2024, Nigeria created the Federal Ministry of Livestock Development to unlock potential in the country's vast but underdeveloped livestock sector. The Ministry's leadership has focused on increasing commercial productivity, which may lead to more interest in U.S. live animal, genetics, and animal feed product exports. In December 2024, the United States signed seven animal health export protocols with Nigeria, creating more opportunities to grow exports given the Ministry's focus on commercial development, including improving dairy yields, beef production, and animal feed availability.
