The Ministry of Finance Incorporated has disclosed that Nigeria imported more than 560,000 metric tonnes of fertiliser raw materials in 2025 alone, underscoring the Federal Government’s determination to guarantee steady access to agricultural inputs under the Presidential Fertiliser Initiative.
In a statement released on Wednesday, MOFI explained that at least 10 vessels had already discharged or were expected to discharge fertiliser raw material cargoes at Nigerian ports this year.
The agency stressed that the continued inflow of inputs was building a strong foundation for robust local production while assuring uninterrupted supply and stability across Nigeria’s fertiliser value chain.
“New data confirms steady progress. From 2022 to date in 2025, 48 distinct vessels have delivered critical raw materials for fertiliser blending under the PFI. In 2025 alone, 10 vessels have already been discharged and are expected to discharge cargoes, accounting for more than 560,000 metric tonnes of inputs received at Nigerian ports,” the statement read.
The agency emphasised that the initiative was directly aligned with President Bola Tinubu’s vision for food sovereignty, which prioritises not just production volumes but also resilience in the supply chain.
