A report by the Nigeria Cassava Investment Accelerator (NCIA) indicates that the demand for sweeteners in Nigeria is expected to rise to around 2.15 million metric tonnes by 2026. This projection underscores the potential for increased production of cassava-based industrial sweeteners within the country. However, the report also highlights a significant gap in domestic production capacity, which currently stands at approximately 53,000 metric tonnes, suggesting a need for investment and development in this sector to meet the growing demand.
