Nigeria non-oil exports rose to an all-time high of $6.1 billion in 2025, marking the strongest performance in the sector since the establishment of the Nigerian Export Promotion Council nearly five decades ago.
Historic Achievement
The figure represents an 11.5 percent year-on-year increase over the $5.4 billion recorded in 2024, underscoring growing momentum in the country diversification drive away from crude oil dependence. This achievement demonstrates the effectiveness of government policies aimed at boosting non-oil revenue streams.
Volume Growth
Beyond value, export volumes also rose significantly, with total non-oil exports hitting 8.02 million metric tonnes in 2025, compared with 7.29 million metric tonnes in 2024, representing a 10 percent increase. In 2025 alone, Nigeria exported a total of 281 non-oil products across agricultural commodities, processed and semi-processed goods, industrial inputs, and solid minerals.
Global Reach
Nigerian non-oil exports reached markets across 120 countries in 2025, demonstrating the country expanding global trade footprint. This diversification of export destinations reduces dependency on any single market and strengthens Nigeria position in international trade.
