Stressing that Notore’s market environment remains favourable, as fertilizer is a key input to Nigeria’s agricultural productivity and food sufficiency, he added that, Nigeria is a top priority under the Africa Emergency Food Production Plan, a strategic initiative by the African Development Bank(ADB) to mitigate the impact of the Russian-Ukraine war on food supplies in Africa.

To him, “the recent disruptions in global markets have created an opportunity for Nigeria to be a suitable alternative for fertilizer importing countries. As the federal government continues to implement policies and initiatives to further boost the agricultural value chain, Notore intends to prioritise the domestic market, continue to improve its NPK presence in the market and leverage opportunities to meet demand both in the domestic and West African markets.”
