Leveraging Agricultural and Mineral Wealth for Global Trade

Nigeria's economic future is increasingly tied to the vigor of its non-oil sector. While the Naira-value of non-oil exports has seen a surge, reflecting currency dynamics, the fundamental goal of diversifying the economy remains paramount. Forward-thinking companies like ISHOJIM RESOURCES are actively leading this transition by ensuring that premium agricultural products and valuable solid minerals meet stringent global demand.

The Commodities Driving Growth

The engine of Nigeria’s export diversification is its vast portfolio of agricultural and mineral wealth.

• Agricultural Champions: Commodities such as Cashew Nuts, Sesame Seeds, and Soybeans continue to be major revenue drivers. The growing global demand for processed products is also encouraging local value-addition, boosting earnings. ISHOJIM RESOURCES focuses on these staples, working directly with farmers to ensure high-quality sourcing from our aggregation zones in the South West and Middle-Belt regions.
• Solid Mineral Potential: The solid minerals sector, though a smaller contributor to GDP, is showing an upward trajectory, with export values rising significantly. Minerals such as Lepidolite Ore and Gum Arabic are critical to international industrial supply chains. The recent policy emphasis on value addition is set to increase the benefit Nigeria derives from these exports.

The ISHOJIM Advantage: Logistics and Experience

The largest barrier to Nigerian export competitiveness is often inconsistent supply chains and poor logistics infrastructure. Our company tackles this challenge head-on:

• Structured Supply Chain: We manage aggregation activities across key states and ensure meticulous organization of logistics, mobilizing cargoes from regional warehouses (like our largest Cashew warehouse in Kogi State) directly to the seaport.
• Expert Leadership: Our team, led by a Development Economist with over 20 years of experience in international trade, ensures that all transactions are structured correctly, mitigating risks often faced by Nigerian exporters.
