Fertilizer Boom: Nigeria’s Urea Exports Surge 64% to ₦1.3 Trillion in Q1 2026
Nigeria’s urea fertilizer exports hit ₦1.3 trillion in Q1 2026, a 64% jump from ₦797.7 billion in Q1 2025. The surge follows supply disruptions in the Gulf after the US-Iran conflict closed the Strait of Hormuz. Higher global prices sent buyers hunting for new sources. Top local plants – Dangote Fertilizer in Lekki, Indorama Eleme in Port Harcourt and Notore Chemical in Onne – ramped up shipments to markets like Brazil, India, the US and Ukraine. Already the world’s ninth-largest exporter in 2025, Nigeria could soon break into the top five if current trends continue.
