DidYouKnow: In 2019 The #Netherlands exported more #cocoa than #Ghana despite the latter �� having 800.000 cocoa #farmers and ZERO for the former ��?
According to a joint study by the Dutch Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek and Wageningen Economic Research, the Netherlands exported €4.7 billion in cocoa products (€2.9bn Dutch-made and €1.8bn re-exports); while Ghana exported less than €3bn worth of cocoa products.

According to the same study, the super-efficient trading #infrastructure maintained the Netherlands as the world's 2nd largest exporter of #farm products behind the #US.

It is my opinion that the successful "re-export" strategy adopted by the #Dutch isn't that different from the work done by other #intermediaries in #agricultural trading.
Yet, in modern #value chain theories we are quick to dismiss the importance of intermediaries in the functioning of rural #markets in #Africa, sometimes going as far as calling them the root cause of #poverty in farming households

Waoooh! Was your response connected to what the OP posted?

How useful is Nigeria to other African countries in terms of Agriculture?

This chest beating we Nigerians have won't get us anywhere. Go into the international market and compare farm produce from Nigeria versus those from Ghana.
As at today, most countries' customs agents will pass products from Ghana into their countries without much scrutiny compared to those from Nigeria. Most oyigbo will be at ease doing any business in Ghana than in Nigeria.

Let's be realistic.
