In The Spotlight
Nigeria moves to power bioethanol growth by linking 14 million cassava farmers to industry.
Nigeria has unveiled an ambitious agricultural and industrial plan aimed at integrating about 14 million smallholder farmers into the cassava based bioethanol value chain.
The move forms part of a broader effort to industrialise agriculture, strengthen rural livelihoods and cut Nigeria’s heavy reliance on imported fuel. Known as the Cassava Bioethanol Value Chain Development Project, the initiative is being driven by the Ministry of Budget and Economic Planning and represents a key step in reshaping the country’s agricultural economy.
A central feature of the programme is the “triple helix” approach, which brings together government institutions, universities and the private sector. This partnership model is designed to speed up the transfer of research, skills and technology to farmers and processors. Through this collaboration, producers will gain access to high yielding and disease resistant cassava varieties, modern farming techniques and improved production systems that support large scale industrial processing. The approach is also expected to attract private investment and strengthen Nigeria’s bioenergy ecosystem.
The project aligns with Nigeria’s National Biofuels Policy (2007), which targets the blending of ethanol with Premium Motor Spirit with the long term goal of achieving a 10 percent ethanol mix. This strategy is expected to stimulate domestic demand for cassava derived bioethanol, reduce fuel imports and preserve foreign exchange. Currently, close to half of Nigeria’s petrol consumption depends on imports, and official estimates suggest the initiative could save more than US$3 trillion, roughly US$4bn, every year.
Beyond fuel, ethanol is widely used across the chemical, pharmaceutical and agri food industries, including in the production of disinfectants, solvents and beverages. This broad demand highlights the strong commercial potential of bioethanol outside the energy sector.
Approved in April 2023, the project is backed by a US$11.9bn government investment running through 2028. A pilot phase includes a 20 hectare biotechnology industrial park where hybrid cassava varieties such as TME 419 will be cultivated. While the opportunities are significant, success will depend on reliable logistics, strong processing infrastructure and a stable regulatory framework that balances industrial demand with cassava’s role as a staple food.
Nigeria depends heavily on imported cloves.
Nigeria is getting ready to introduce its first nationwide commercial clove farming campaign, scheduled to begin during the 2026 rainy season which usually starts in April.
The initiative was announced by Abdullahi Shuaibu, National Coordinator of the National Association of Clove Farmers, Processors and Marketers of Nigeria, and represents a bold move to position cloves as a viable commercial crop across all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory. The programme signals a growing commitment to agricultural diversification and long term economic growth.
The pilot phase of the campaign is expected to involve about 74,000 farmers, with at least 2,000 participants drawn from each state and the FCT. Each farmer will cultivate roughly 0.5 hectares of land dedicated to clove farming. Participants will receive improved seeds and essential farm inputs to help ensure healthy crop establishment and improved yields. This structured rollout is designed to build capacity while reducing the risks often associated with introducing a new commercial crop.
At present, Nigeria depends heavily on imported cloves, bringing in an average of 1,184 tonnes annually between 2020 and 2024 at a cost of around US$1million each year. By expanding domestic production, the campaign aims to reduce import dependence while creating opportunities to export surplus cloves and earn foreign exchange.
If successful, the initiative could make Nigeria the second African country after Tanzania, particularly Zanzibar, to produce cloves on a commercial scale. This transition is expected to support job creation, strengthen rural livelihoods and increase income opportunities for farming communities.
Global demand for cloves remains strong, driven by widespread use in food processing, pharmaceuticals and personal care products. The global clove market was valued at about US$5.7 billion in 2025 and is projected to exceed US$7bn by 2030, presenting attractive export prospects for Nigeria.
To support farmers, improved clove seedlings sourced from Tanzania are being distributed, alongside training manuals developed with academic partners. Officials believe the campaign could deliver meaningful benefits for rural economies, especially for youth and women. However, its long term success will depend on consistent technical support, effective coordination and the development of strong market linkages at both local and international levels.

Global antimicrobial usage peaked dramatically at 118,600 tonnes in 2013 before dropping to 84,000 tonnes by 2020.
A groundbreaking UCL study reveals a paradox at the heart of global agriculture: whilst antimicrobial use in livestock has plummeted by nearly a third since 2013, wealthy nations are quietly shifting the burden overseas through strategic imports.
The research, published in Nature Sustainability, tracked antimicrobial consumption patterns across a decade, painting the most comprehensive picture yet of how these critical medicines flow through our interconnected food systems. The findings tell two contrasting stories about progress and persistent problems.
Global antimicrobial usage peaked dramatically at 118,600 tonnes in 2013 before dropping to 84,000 tonnes by 2020. This remarkable decline accelerated following the landmark 2016 UN meeting on antimicrobial resistance, which catalysed stricter regulations across numerous countries. Per capita consumption fell from 15.6 grams to 10.6 grams during this period.
China and the United States, commanding roughly 60% of worldwide usage, drove this positive shift with reductions of 29% and 28% respectively. These numbers represent genuine progress in combating a threat that currently claims 700,000 lives annually through drug resistant bacteria.
However, beneath these encouraging statistics lies a troubling pattern. Developed nations have effectively exported their antimicrobial footprint by importing products from emerging economies where livestock farming practices remain antimicrobial intensive. Between 2010 and 2020, internationally traded goods' share of antimicrobial use climbed from 16% to 20%.
Perhaps most surprising: half this footprint stems from non food products like clothing, chemicals, and electronics containing animal derived materials. Meanwhile, nations like India and Indonesia face rising antimicrobial consumption, partly fuelled by export demands. India's footprint expanded by 16% across the decade.
"The overuse of antimicrobials in livestock is a serious health concern, posing a potential global health threat. The decline in use in recent years is promising, and shows that government regulation and intervention can be effective. Our research can help inform future guidance for their usage," said Heran Zheng (UCL Bartlett School of Sustainable Construction).
This study underscores a critical reality: reducing antimicrobial resistance requires coordinated global action, not just shifting production to countries with looser regulations. True progress means addressing consumption patterns and supporting sustainable farming practices worldwide.

This launch signals Bayer's serious commitment to soft fruit innovation, backed by extensive breeding resources spanning over 20 vegetable crops and thousands of seed selections worldwide.
Sustainable foods 2026 is shaping the future of food system.
Sustainable Foods 2026 arrives at a pivotal moment, bringing together industry decision makers at the Business Design Centre on 28th and 29th January to tackle the biggest challenges facing our food system today.
This landmark gathering focuses on four transformative pillars: Health and Nutrition, Food Security, Net Zero targets, and Regenerative Agriculture. It represents a rare opportunity where both animal and plant based sectors collaborate to build solutions that benefit everyone.
Emma Pinchbeck, Chief Executive of the Climate Change Committee, said, "Rapid progress on reducing agricultural emissions and being thoughtful about how we use our land is needed for the UK to meet its climate targets. The good news is that the solutions are already in front of us, from supporting our farmers to making it easier and more affordable for people to access nutritious and tasty food."
The health crisis demands urgent action. With obesity rates climbing and diet related diseases on the rise, ultra processed foods now face unprecedented scrutiny. Major retailers recognise their responsibility in this transformation.
Ken Murphy, CEO of Tesco, said, "We recognise the vital role supermarkets can play in securing a sustainable food system. Our customers are telling us they want food that is affordable, healthier and better for the planet, and they expect us to lead the way."
Climate extremes, political tensions, and supply chain vulnerabilities dominate boardroom discussions. The event tackles these realities head on.
Henry Dimbleby, Co-founder of Bramble Partners, LEON, and author of the National Food Strategy added,"We are entering a decade of unprecedented disruption in the food system. Health, nature and climate are no longer abstract ESG concerns, they are hard commercial realities. Appetite suppressants are booming, ultra processed food is under fire, and climate change is straining supply chains. Money is moving, and leaders who don't act now will be left behind."
Over 700 delegates from 45 countries will converge, featuring 100 speakers and 50 exhibitors. BBC Radio 4's Dan Saladino will broadcast a special Food Programme episode on 6th February, capturing insights from this crucial gathering where commitment transforms into action.

Fishmeal plant strengthens west coast fisheries.
The South African government has welcomed a major R170 million investment by the African Pioneer Group into a new fishmeal plant at Sandy Point Harbour in St Helena Bay, Western Cape.
The facility is set to boost local and export supply chains by producing a range of fish products and strengthening the small pelagic sector’s value chain.
Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment Willie Aucamp,said, “This facility is so much more than an expansion of processing capacity. It is a strategic intervention in the small pelagic value chain that strengthens domestic beneficiation, enhances operational efficiency, and positions South Africa to extract greater economic value from each tonne of fish harvested,” he said. He added that the project “strengthens local opportunities without increasing pressure on the resource base” and represents investment in communities and the future of South Africa’s fishing industry.
Aucamp emphasised and added, “The more than R170 million investment represented by this facility contributes directly to sustainable industrial growth in a priority coastal node,” he said, highlighting the partnership between government, science and the fishing industry as central to sustainable marine resource management.
The small pelagic sector plays a crucial role in coastal employment, food security, animal feed supply chains, and export earnings, especially along the West Coast. However, it is also highly vulnerable to environmental variability and climate-driven shifts. The Minister pointed to recent scientific assessments showing major fluctuations in biomass and recruitment, particularly the record-low anchovy recruitment in 2025 and persistently low sardine populations.
In response, the sector has been urged to diversify fishing efforts towards more abundant species such as round herring, which has shown strong biomass performance. “This species now plays a critical buffering role in maintaining throughput in the pelagic sector during periods when sardine and anchovy are constrained,” the Minister said. He explained that investments like the Sandy Point fishmeal plant support resilience by enabling efficient processing of a wider species mix, reducing waste, improving turnaround times, and stabilising supply to downstream industries.
Overall, the plant is seen as a strategic move towards sustainable industrialisation and strengthened marine beneficiation, aligning with the Oceans Economy Master Plan and the government’s industrial policy framework.
