Nigeria’s agricultural import sector is rapidly evolving. With growing demands in livestock feed, edible oil extraction, and food processing, soybeans have become one of the country’s most strategic agro-imports.

As the local production of soybeans cannot yet meet domestic demand, Nigeria increasingly looks toward international markets—especially regional partners. This is where Iranian soybeans come into play.

At Tamila Agrifood, we specialize in bulk export of Iranian-grown soybeans to African countries, and Nigeria is one of our key partners for sustainable food trade.

Why Iranian Soybeans for Nigeria?

While Brazil and the U.S. remain dominant global exporters, Iran provides a regional advantage to West African buyers like Nigeria.

Key Benefits:

•    Shorter transit time via the Persian Gulf – Red Sea – Lagos route

•    Lower price volatility

•    Naturally non-GMO & high in protein

•    Ideal for feed mills, oil processors, and food manufacturers

•    Competitive FOB & CIF pricing from Bandar Abbas to Lagos, Onne or Tin Can Port
