In Nigeria, the presence of favorable climatic conditions and extensive land use for the sustainable production of cocoa is propelling the market for cocoa processing.

Moreover, the Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC) is focusing on expanding the trade activities for cocoa beans by establishing specialized units, such as the Cocoa Association of Nigeria (CAN). Besides this, the increasing penetration of western food trends in Nigeria is also driving the demand for cocoa-based baked goods, beverages, confectioneries, etc. Additionally, the growing awareness towards numerous anti-aging, moisturizing, and anti-inflammatory properties of cocoa beans is further catalyzing their usage in the cosmetics sector.
