Status/Prospects: 
Nigeria is not well noted for exportation of citrus fruits;  The country produced 0.3 million tonnes out of the world production of 36.0 metric tonnes but has the potential to produce more for both local and international markets.
Local processing of citrus fruit is on the increase to meet increasing local demand for fruit juice, which is currently met by large scale importation.
