From farm to export
- Growing and harvest — concentrated in the north.
- Drying and grading — to meet buyer specifications.
- Export — sold abroad in dollars at global prices.
Why dollars matter to farmers
Global spice prices are quoted in dollars, so a Nigerian exporter’s naira earnings depend on both the world price and the exchange rate — the same economics behind sesame export and cashew export. Getting a fair conversion on export proceeds is as important as the farm-gate price, and export finance can help fund the season.
