(NB: Data & graphs below are estimates we computed from @Nigerianstat data and do not reflect official data)
In 2019, spending on food in #Nigeria was approximately USD 59 billion. Consumers in the geopolitical zones along the #GulfofGuinea account for almost half of national food expenditures...2/6 #foodsystems #fromfarmtotable #urbanization #structuraltransformation #hiddenmiddle
The #foodeconomy (household food expenditures) grew 5.2% per year over 2009-10 to 2019-20 in nominal terms. But the share of food in household spending declined from 65 to 57%...3/6 #structuraltransformation #urbanization #foodsystems #fromfarmtotable #hiddenmiddle #Nigeria
Nigerian diets continue to change. Shares of grains in household food expenditure have ⬇ while shares of processed & perishable foods have⬆️, prompting a surge in agro-food #MSMEs. Need to adjust policies in line with changing consumer demands...4/6 #foodsystems #thehiddenmiddle
Food expenditure patterns in #urban and #rural households in #Nigeria are broadly similar, but urban households have lower shares of grains & rely more on food-away-from-home (outside dining & street food)... 5/6 @sgyemikale @FmardNg @NanonoSabo @wandieville @Mic_Ojo
Spatial insights: Food still dominates household expenditure in #Nigeria. Shares of grain expenditure are higher in the more rural north, shares of meat, dairy & fish are slightly higher along the coast & shares of processed foods are high throughout! 6/6 #mapping #foodsystems
