Nice, Northern States are trying in this regard

While this is a good attempt at providing sources of certain crops, it would have been best to have this table arranged in descending order of production. I am talking of the website owners. Thanks to the OP for providing this info.

I am surprised not seeing Kogi in Oil palm. They have one of the best in Nigeria and in very large quantity.

Sesame is also plenty around northern Kogi close to Abaji area where it is further taken to Kano. Its very cheap and abundant at Abaji market.

Benue have pepper in abundance and very cheap especially from the Agatu area. Most of the pepper brought to Kogi from Agatu is further taken to other states by the Hausa traders in Lokoja.
