“…and a number of large plantations, are diverse (Gold, Ikuenobe, Asemota, & Okiy, 2012;Gourichon, 2013). Palm oil production systems in Nigeria can be split into three main groups: (1) production and harvesting from wild and semi-wild groves; (2) production from small, medium, and large producers; and (3) production from large corporate or government plantations/estates (Ramon, 2016).…”

“…A productive palm oil value chain has a significant potential to support economic development in Nigeria (Bello, Bello, Essien, & Saidu, 2015). However, Nigeria's palm oil value chain faces serious challenges, including low productivity, poor infrastructure, production of low-quality oils, and inefficiencies along the value chain (Gold et al, 2012;PIND, 2011). Challenges also stem from the currency valuation that makes domestic production challenging, concerns over the expansion of oil palm, and impacts for forest and habitat loss (Byerlee et al, 2017).…”

“…Processing of palm fruit into palm oil takes place in several stages, and different techniques can be employed in each stage (Poku, 2002). The flesh can be processed to produce either lower-quality technical palm oil (TPO) or higher-quality special palm oil (SPO), whereas the seed/kernel can be processed to produce palm kernel oil (PKO) (Gold et al, 2012). These products have a wide array of uses; all are used as vegetable oils or as additives in traditional food recipes.…”

“…In general, PKO is used to produce soaps, cosmetics, detergents, and lubricants. The SPO and PKO produced by large processing plants are also refined for use in other processed food products or for industrial purposes (Gold et al, 2012).…”

“…According to FAOSTAT, annual palm oil imports had grown from tens of thousands of tons in the 1990s to over 1 million tons in 2014 (FAOSTAT, 2017). Nigeria imports palm oil for industrial purposes and as vegetable oil for cooking (Gold et al, 2012). However, both GAIN (2014a) and Gourichon (2013) argue that a large part of Nigeria's imports remains informal and undocumented.…”

Understanding how policies affect price transmission and incentives for producers and consumers along the complete value chain is a relevant research question due to the more globalized structure of agricultural value chains. In particular, Nigerian agricultural value chains have been targeted by a number of policy decisions. We analyze the import‐oriented palm oil value chain and the export‐oriented cacao value chain, estimating the price distortions from policies and their implications for production incentives at the regional level. For palm oil, due to protective trade policies and domestic initiatives, the nominal rate of protection (NRP) at the farmgate for palm oil producers shows that producers have been protected. NRPs at the border for cacao beans and cocoa products are negative, which may be due to a quality gap, the export market structure, and the concentration of buyers in global markets. Negative NRPs at the farmgate are seen for all regions, showing disincentives in the cacao beans export market reverberate through the domestic market despite domestic support policies. In both value chains, NRPs at farmgate vary across regions partially due to regional policy frameworks and partially due to local conditions impacting price transmission.

Tracing global flows of bioactive compounds from farm to fork in nutrient balance sheets can help guide intervention towards healthier food supplies

Adequate supplies of healthy foods available in each country are a necessary but not sufficient condition for adequate intake by each individual. This study provides complete Nutrient Balance Sheets that account for all plant-based and animal-sourced food flows from farm production through trade to non-food uses and waste in 173 countries from 1961 to 2018. We track 36 bioactive compounds in all farm commodities recorded by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, accounting for nutrient-specific losses in processing and cooking as well as bioavailability. We compare supply to requirements given each country’s age-sex distribution and find that the adequacy of food supplies has increased but often remains below total needs, with even faster rise in energy levels and lower density of some nutrients per calorie. We use this nutrient accounting to show how gaps could be filled, either from food production and trade or from selected biofortification, fortification and supplementation scenarios for nutrients of concern such as vitamin A, iron and zinc.
