Nigeria has received a shipment of 50,000 metric tonnes of U.S.-grown wheat valued at approximately $15 million (about ₦21.8 billion), marking another boost in the expanding agricultural trade relationship between both countries.

The vessel arrived at Apapa Port, where U.S. Consul General Rick Swart and U.S. Agricultural Counselor Chris Bielecki were present to witness the offloading of the cargo.

According to the officials, the delivery underscores the growing agricultural partnership between Nigeria and the United States.
They stated:

“Trade in U.S. agricultural products supports American farmers, enables Nigerian companies to expand value-added food processing and create jobs, and delivers high-quality ingredients to Nigerian consumers.”

This year, bilateral agricultural trade between the U.S. and Nigeria is projected to more than double—expected to exceed $700 million in 2025—a milestone that the officials say benefits producers, businesses, and households in both nations.

Observers noted that the continuous supply of U.S. wheat demonstrates the strength of commercial ties between both countries and highlights the essential role agriculture plays in the broader U.S.–Nigeria economic relationship.
