Coffee in Nigeria • Information • Bunaa

Coffee production and consumption are rising in Nigeria – between 2010 and 2015 by 20 %.
Unfortunately, this is due to the Nescafe products produced in the Ivory Coast. They have a market share of 37 % in the instant coffee sector.
Nestle holds more than 60 % of the market share in Nigeria.

In recent years old coffee plantations have been rehabilitated and old coffee plants have been rejuvenated, usually by decapping the plants to a height of about 1.5 m.
New techniques were also used for the propagation of Robusta plants.
For this, more than 110 Arabica varieties are tested on the Mambilla Plateau to improve the coffee industry in the country.
New coffee cultivation and fertilization methods are intended to increase yields.
Nigeria is now ranked 12th in the world when it comes to harvest yields.
Also overall quality of the coffee could be improved by the introduction of the wet processing.
However, since coffee is still a luxury, 75 % of the Nigerians still drink Nescafe.
A light sight: the roaster Kaldi and the Startup Cafe Neo, founded in 2012, help to build a coffee culture in Nigeria.
