Nigerian Cement – West African Regional Export Programme

Requirement

Nigeria's cement industry has transformed from net importer to regional exporter, with production capacity exceeding domestic demand. This $8.5 million annual trading programme places Nigerian cement across West African markets including Ghana, Niger, Benin, and Togo. Product range includes Portland cement (32.5R, 42.5N) in 50kg bags and bulk, meeting regional standards. Supply partners include Nigeria's major cement producers with combined export allocation of 200,000+ tonnes annually. We seek regional cement distributors, construction companies, and commodity traders. Nigerian cement competes favorably on price versus imports from Turkey and Asia, with logistics advantages for neighboring countries. Pricing is FOB Lagos/Calabar at $85-95/tonne for bagged, $70-80/tonne for bulk, depending on grade. Payment terms include LC and CAD. Shipping supports both container (bagged) and bulk carrier (10,000+ tonne parcels). West Africa's construction boom drives cement demand growth of 6-8% annually. Nigerian cement offers AfCFTA tariff advantages and reduced shipping times versus extra-African imports.
