| dc.description | Nigeria's Lagos State is the leading producer of coconuts in the country. However, the coconut market faces various challenges, including traditional cultivation methods and technologies that result in low output and income. There is also a shortage of raw materials to meet the growing local demand for coconut-based products, and consumers and processors prefer imported coconuts due to their desirable characteristics, such as maturity level. To address these issues, the Lagos State Government recognized the need to boost coconut production and increase income in the coconut subsector and sought technical support from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to conduct a comprehensive Value Chain Analysis (VCA) to strengthen the coconut value chain. This included identifying the necessary public and private investments, technical assistance and policy implications required for sustainable development of the value chain. | |
