10 Hot Items You Can Export From Nigeria And Become Rich
There are so many products which you can export out of Nigeria to other parts of the world for real profits. However, not many people know about these products. Sometimes, people know what to export but have no idea how to export them. These and more continue to hinder a lot of people from going into exportation business in Nigeria and making gains.
Exportation business earns one much returns on investment (RoI) in foreign currencies (a.k.a. hard currencies), which when exchange to the Naira is most times between 100 – 500 times the value of the Naira. That is why many people go into exportation business in Nigeria.
A good number of Nigerian-made products (a.k.a. Made in Nigeria Goods) sell very well outside the shores of this country due to their high qualities. In the country here though, we may not value them. Yet, on the international market, they are hot cakes.
Below are some of the items you can export outside the country and make a lot of money from:
11 Hot Items You Can Export From Nigeria And Make Dollars

Nigeria happens to be among the largest producers of Ginger in the world. Ginger is also one of the most traded spices in the world.

The uses of Palm Kernel oil are numerous and there is much income to be generated from it.

Rubber is yet another excellent export product from Nigeria. In Nigeria, there are many good Central Testing Laboratories established by the government or private licensing bodies to ensure that only certified products leave the country to Europe and/or America.
Nigeria is lucky to be one of the highest producers of rubber in Africa. One cubic meter of rubber sales for between $400 and $600 while composing this article. This may have, however, changed due to the fluctuation of dollar rate in the international market.
7. Sesame Seed
Sesame seed may sound a bit strange, especially to those who do not know its financial/economic worth. Yes, it will definitely sound strange if you are not from where it is manufactured or processed.

- Essential Amino acids etc.

Countries such as Portugal, France, Belgium, Spain, and the USA do not really have these products. So, they opt to import them for their many nutritional, health and allied benefits. This is a chance of making real income exporting shrimps from Nigeria.
