Most of us use coffee, rice, corn, tea, cotton, wheat, and soybeans every single day—but very few people know which countries actually produce most of them. 🌍

Some nations dominate entire global supply chains, while others specialize in just one major crop. From Brazil’s coffee and soybeans to China’s tea and cotton, these numbers show how much of the world depends on a surprisingly small group of producers.

Where is our own cocoa,sorghum, grains,coconuts

Do that of palm oil, let's see where Nigeria stands

Tou are still behind ivory coast and Ghana on cocoa.

Na so, so bad lists na Nigeria dey dominate, very anyhow country like that.

We're only producing Obi, Atiku and Tinubu in Nigeria

Tunubu must go.
Nigeria is in a big mess

Africa is just big for nothing wallahi.

Just good at noise making, especially Nigeria.

Never seen people as loud as Nigerians.

Go to social media, you won't believe these people are from the poverty capital of the world.

Always making noise!

Meanwhile Nigeria has a wide swathe of fertile arid land for foodcrop cultivation is missing on the list.

Most African countries do subsitence farming. That's enough to feed some of the population, but not enough to feed all the population and leave surplus for exports.

If we want to be a world leader in food production, we got to have more people investing in large scale mechanized farming. That would take us to the top, but leave many small scale subsitence farmers out of work...

You mean that the USA that Nigerian Iranians bash every day, referring to them as paper tigers, is among the top food producers?

What then is my country producing please?

Malaysia and Indonesia have a climate and far more land where palm oil can be grown year round. Nigeria can only grow palm oil in the south, and the south is densley populated..which limits available land for palm oil cropping.

Please stop spreading false information to people more ignorant than you are about a topic you clearly know nothing about.

The above comment is a response to my previous comment

Note that the lad just abuses me, but offers no proof as to why I am wrong, and he is right.

It shows that he actually does not have proof, he just wants to prove that he is superior to me.

Such people are not worth engaging with at all at all

I still stand by my post, and will add that Malaysia has plantations, and some form of mechanized farming, which Nigeria doesn't have.

P.S : He better go and learn to be more polite to people. I'm blocking him too for his own good.

Africa is no where to be found later they blame everyone for their backwardness and suffering.

Nigeria no dey compete for this kind of thing..Our population and land mass have been useless

Palm Oil, as well as Cassava 👍

So called Giant of Africa is missing, nawaoooo

All we know is to import and why Naira won't lose value.

USA has a lot of farming that is heavily mechanized, even dairy farming for example is mechnanized from how the milk is collected to how it is processed. And farming is dominated by large corporations there.

The result however, is that a lot of farming towns have a lot of unemployed and underemployed people...because machines are taking away the farm jobs that would have needed many hands to farm on.

This is what peter obi has been saying

The north is a gold mine

In just a few years a government that knows what it's going can make us more than self sufficient in food production

Imagine only three African countries their

Even Benin republic made the list

Hemanwel:
When did cotton become food, kwanu??

I think Brazil is one of the most blessed countries in the world.

Brazilian agriculture is mechanzied, and most of it is done by large agriculutural concerns, which in Nigeria form only ten percent of all the agriculture we do here.

Fact is, most rich nigerians don't want to do agriculture, even before the insecurity and herdsmen issues was a thing. It's risky business.

Taraba has fertile lands for coffee and tea but they would rather wait for free money from abuja

When it comes to corn production every part of Nigeria expect the sahel region is game

Nigeria can do this

First tackle this insecurity

Then instead of these billions you spend on prado, build factory that produces mechanized farm implement

These people can enter into partnership with the govt in exchange for their land

See how things would change

Nigeria will top the list if na counterfeit items or fake products.

For the North to be a goldmine of agriculture, it would have to replace most subsistence farming with large agrocoproations...which is something most Nigerians don't want to invest in.

Nigeria is the world leader in cassava production, as well as yam, cowpea, kolanuts, and cocoyam

We also rank high in some other food crops

• Sorghum: 2nd largest producer in the world (after the United States).
• Okra: 2nd largest producer in the world (after India).
• Ginger: 3rd largest producer in the world.
• Groundnuts (Peanuts): 3rd largest producer in the world.
• Millet: 4th largest producer in the world.
• Cocoa Beans: Top 4 to 5 global producer

Nigeria is the largest producer of cassava and whether you drink garri or not cassava serves very many uses......from garium sulphate to starch used in pharmaceuticals for making drugs.

I thought I saw Nigeria flag just now
