The Nigerian government launched, at the end of May, the The Coffee Revitalization Initiative (NCRI) is a 10-year program that aims to… to rebuild the country's coffee industry, which is in full decline.
The initiative has the support of local farmers' groups, state governments, research institutes, and representatives from the private sector.
The program will be implemented in 14 coffee-producing Nigerian states, with the common goal of revitalizing the country's coffee industry through policy reforms, delivery of improved seedlings to farmers, value addition, and private sector investment.
"Revitalizing Nigeria's coffee industry is a strategic imperative for sustainable economic growth, export development, and climate resilience," stated the country's senator, Abubakar Kyari.
