Cashew nut: Nigeria is one of the top ten cashew producers in the world. It is a smallholder crop and supplements the incomes of many thousands of farmers across 18 States.  You can source from some of the major cashew growing areas in Nigeria like: Enugu, Abia, Imo, Anambra, Ebonyi and Cross River States in the eastern part of the country; Oyo, Osun, Ondo, Ekiti and Ogun States in the Western part, as well as Kwara, Kogi, Nassarawa, Benue, Taraba, Niger and FCT in the Middle Belt and also Sokoto and Kebbi States in the North West part of the country. The specifications are, KoR, or shelling out-turn 48-50 Ibs/bag, the nut count must be 170 to 180, and the cashew must be dried. The exporter pays between N75,000 to N82,000 per metric tones depending on the quality of the cashew nut supplied.

Cocoa: Cocoa is the second major non-oil foreign exchange earner in Nigeria after leather. It is produced in 16 states of the federation namely Ondo, Cross River, Oyo, Osun, Ekiti, Ogun, Edo, Kogi, Akwa Ibom, Delta, Abia, Kwara, Ebonyi, Rivers, Taraba and Adamawa with an annual production of 400,000 metric tones however 98% of this is exported. It provides means of livelihood, sustenance and employment opportunities to over five million Nigerians the specification, the mould should be7% maximum, and the moisture content should not be more than 8.5%, while the souring agent can collect between N370 to 380,000 per metric tones.

Ginger: Ginger is one of the most important articles of trade in the world spice market, where it is found fresh, dehydrated, preserved powdered and other forms. Though, Nigeria is among the World’s largest producers of ginger. Ginger is produced in six states of the Federation namely, Kaduna, Nasarawa, Benue, Niger and Gombe with Kaduna as the major producer. The quality of Nigeria Ginger being the best in the world has contributed to and is an indicator of the increased demand for Ginger. The specifications: Moisture content: 6-9% max, Oil content: 1-2%, Impurities: 0-2% maximum. Harvesting of ginger starts from October and normally continues until April/May. This largely depends on the market situation as ginger can be left on the ground (not harvested) for two years. Dried ginger is usually presented in a split or sliced form. Splitting is said to be preferred to slicing, as slicing loses more flavour, but the sliced are easier to grind and this is the predominant form of dried ginger currently in the market.. Good quality, competitive pricing and reliability of supply are prerequisite for market success. The local price of dry split ginger deliver to Lagos varies from N180,000 to N190,0000 per ton

Shea nut: Nigeria names are: Okwuma in Igbo, :Dan ka'raye Kwara, Kadanya, man ka" dai, man ka" danya in Hausa while the Yoruba call it Ori Apart from its role as an important raw material . Statistics show that only 25-30% of the shea nuts produced in Nigeria wild are collected. The shelling process involves the removal of the hard shell protecting the kernel. A shelling machine would make this process fun instead of hard labour. In some villages the gathering fruits are either consumed or buried in pits and allowed to ferment, which facilitates the disintegration of fleshy parts of the fruits. The remaining nut is then boiled to remove any of the fruit pulp remaining. The nuts can be sundried or roasted over fire or in a traditional oven for two to three days. The kernels are dried further to reduce moisture content from about 40 percent to about 7 percent. The price is N40,000 per ton deliver to Lagos

Sesame seed: Sesame seeds, also called benniseed, the major producing areas in order of priority are Nasarawa, Jigawa and Benue States. Other important areas of production are found in Yobe, Kano, Katsina, Kogi, Gombe and Plateau States. Each producing area has only one season. Harvesting begins in late December and continues through July. There are 3 types of sesame (and these include: White, Black and Brown/Mixed sesame seeds).However only two of these are majorly produced in Nigeria and these includes;1. White/raw = Food-grade used in bakery industry. 98-100% whitest grade seeds. and. Brown/mixed = primarily oil-grade.

          Soybean: Soybean is a legume which is produced in the middle belt of the country of which Benue State is the largest producer in Nigeria. It produces about 48% of the total natural output of 352,000 metric tonnes per annum. Soybean is an important source of high quality and inexpensive protein and oil. With an average protein content of 40% and oil content of 20%, soybean has the highest protein content of all food crops and is second only to groundnuts in terms of oil content amongst food legumes.

It is also useful in the treatment of malnourished children particularly in the sub-Saharan, Asian and Latin American countries The price is of soya beams is N110,00 to N120,000 deliver to Lagos.

Harwood Charcoal: Charcoal is the blackish residue consisting of impure carbon obtained by removing water and other volatile constituents from animal and vegetation substances. Hard wood charcoal can be produced year round. However it generally advised that charcoal production and export should be done during the dry season (from November to May). Production and export of charcoal during the raining season could be rejected by buyers because of the high moisture content (more than 10%) that usually characterized the charcoal produced during this period..Charcoal can be produced from different part of the country especially in the south west region (Oyo, Ogun,Ondo, Ekiti e.t.c), south-south and south-eastern part of the country (Enugu, Rivers, Cross river e.t.c) and also in the middle belt (Kwara, Kogi, Abuja and Benue) area of the country.
