omenka: My brother, that Benue thingy is a huge falacy oo!!! Yes, they produce a lot, but not as much as outsiders think. Go to the State (or if u live there) and see the truckload of foodstuffs that enter that state from Nassarawa axis weekly!!!saying its fallacy is unfair and not true, why do you think they are called 'food basket if the nation'? Not saying nasarwas does not produce but not as much as Benue, that's the fact. of course you know that nasarawa was carved outta Benue and their are lots of tivs there too 1 Like |

CocoaMerchant: Farmers delay cocoa export from C.Rivers on extra government levy http://businessdayonline.com/2014/07/farmers-delay-cocoa-export-from-c-rivers-on-extra-government-levies A disagreement over a levy imposed by the Cross Rivers state government has halted Cocoa shipments in the last week from the state. Nigeria’s second-largest cocoa grower introduced a charge of N5,000 ($30.90) per tonne of cocoa on exporters who ship beans through ports other than the state’s Calabar seaport, which diminished its viability, a Reuters report credits a trade body as saying. Godwin Ukwu, spokesman for the Cocoa Association of Nigeria, said on Wednesday about 500 tonnes of cocoa due for export were held over the week after the local government refused to comply with a court order that it discontinue the duty. Taxes on exports including cocoa are usually collected by the federal government. “The levy came into being in 2011 … but we went to court to challenge it and we got a judgment restraining the government from collecting the money,” Ukwu said, noting that shipments will resume once the levy is cancelled. Officials from the state government were not immediately available to comment. Cocoa exports from Cross Rivers are usually destined for Europe. Abundant rain and sunshine in the two main cocoa areas of Ondo state and Cross Rivers last month have helped the crop but there are fears that a lack of sun may allow diseases to spread hurt bean quality. Ukwu said the logjam could affect output this season as farmers approach the main crop with export delays. Nigeria typically produces around 250,000 tonnes every year. Official figures for 2013/2014 cocoa output have not yet been released. Cross Rivers is the second-largest grower with annual volumes of around 60,000 tonnes, in the world’s fourth biggest cocoa producer. The state aims to generate revenue through its seaport and compete with more established seaports in the commercial capital Lagos. Farmers said they paid around 300 million naira last year to the state government in levies. 1 Like |

prophetone:1. How did you know that the amount of rubber produced by 4 eastern states is not enough to contribute to the national economy? Do you chûrn out facts from your arsè? 2. The oil wells in Anambra that are undisputed are already producing oil, Imo and Abia are the 5th and 6th biggest oil producing states in Nigeria, go and chew all that. 3. I ask again, does Nigeria produce Nike, Adidas, and Armani footwears? If so where are there factories located? Your so called ''fake'' Aba products are the ones being exported. Go and choke on that. 9 Likes |

Cocoamerchant will you now withdraw your comment. Osun state is not the number 2 producer of Cocoa. Cross rivers is, with about 60,000 tonnes.I seriously doubt if Osun's production exceeds that of Edo state. http://businessdayonline.com/2014/07/farmers-delay-cocoa-export-from-c-rivers-on-extra-government-levies/ 7 Likes |

Re: Nigerian Non-Oil Industry Discussion Thread by Nobody: 8:05pm On Aug 23, 2014 |
atlwireles: So rubber is now produced in the SW? I think the plantations owners in Edo, Delta, Bayelsa and Cross rivers state will say other wise. Also Cross rivers is the second highest producer of Cocoa after Ondo.Rubber has been produced in sw for as long as I can remember. There are many rubber plantation scattered all around sw. |

saxywale:While I understand that rubber has been produced in the SW for long, he told a lie in his original post and someone posted a link from the Rubber Research Institute showing the stayed that produce rubber of which he lumped as a particular region. Then again, I noticed that Abia state produces cocoa also. I wonder why their useless governor hasn't harnessed that potential like his Ebonyi counterpart is doing with rice. http://www.corporate-nigeria.com/index/agriculture/cocoa-growing.html 4 Likes |

yorubakid: @op,the core northerners contributes nothing in this country except terrorism. I wonder what states like yobe,borno and Adamawa contribute the union except the likes of shekau and their fellow virgin hunters. lol if you dont know ask. it is so obvious you dont know what is produce in core north state as against middlebelt. Beans is mainly from the core north, lifestock cattle and sheep. thats hide and skin. is mainly north east. cereals core north exceeds the the middlebelt except for kaduna. onions is largely core north. kebbi, gombe ,borno south and bauchi. ginger like wise is north. middlebelt boost of vegetables and solid minerals. jos is mainly vegtables and acher. benue is yam. even nassarwa does more yam and solif minerals. dude go figure dont just conclude because most commodites from the core north transit the middlebelt is a middle stage enroute south markets. |

eaglechild: See list of Nigerian states ranked by GDPAnd of the highest 10, two are in the North and only one in the Landlocked region. Surprisingly, those two are not oil producing States. A region with a high population is much much more likely to have a high GDP as you can see with Lagos, Kano, Kaduna etc GDP doesn't reflects the true condition of a region. Lagos have a GPD bigger than that of Kenya and Ghana yet we are still the ones flooding into Accra and Nairobi for vacation, education and leisure(That's for the few who even have the money). This is the estimated population for each Nigerian States; 1 Kano State 9,401,288As you can clearly see, yobe and Gombe has one of the lowest population in Nigeria just a little over 2million. Even Ekiti and Ebonyi thats why they are among the lowest in terms of GDP.The rest that made it to the top 10 in your GDP lists(Apart from Lagos,Kano, Edo and Kaduna state) have a population of at least 4million and are oil producing States. |
