The Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC) has reported that the country’s non-oil export earnings rose to $3.225 billion in the first half of 2025, reflecting a 19.59% increase compared to the $2.696 billion recorded in the same period of 2024.
Nonye Ayeni, the Executive Director and CEO of NEPC, shared the figures during the presentation of the council’s mid-year performance report in Abuja on Sunday.
She noted that export volumes also grew, reaching 4.04 million metric tonnes—up from 3.83 million metric tonnes in H1 2024. This surge was attributed to rising international demand for Nigerian goods, particularly from emerging markets like India, Brazil, Vietnam, and other African nations.
Ayeni added that the report highlights the key milestones, obstacles, and future outlook as the year progresses
“Gentlemen of the press, it is on this note that I am pleased to inform you that non-oil products exported in the first half of 2025 were valued at $3.225bn. This shows an increase of 19.59 per cent as against the sum of $2.696bn recorded for the first half of the year 2024,” she said.
The NEPC boss noted that the growth in export value was matched by a rise in shipment volume, recalling that in the first quarter alone, non-oil exports were valued at $1.791bn, a 24.75 per cent rise over the $1.436bn posted in Q1 2024.
Volumes in the same quarter increased to 2.416 million metric tonnes, up 24.3 per cent from the 1.937 million metric tonnes shipped in the corresponding period last year
