Nigeria’s potential at global cowpea market.
Nigeria’s potential at global cowpea market. Cowpea, known as beans in Nigeria, is an important economic crop whose seeds are consumed as a major source of protein, while the stems and leaves are used as animal feed during the dry season serving as a major source of income to its farmers. Its acceptability and consumption demand, adaptability to different soil types and drought resistance makes it an attractive and profitable crop to grow.
Nigeria produces nearly 47 million metric tonnes of beans from an estimated 4.5 million hectares annually, making it the largest pulses producer in Africa and fourth largest producer of cowpea in the world.Nigeria’s potential at global cowpea market.
