US pork allowed some access to Nigeria

The United States now can export sausage and similar products to Nigeria, which announced it is partially opening its market to US pork.

"Nigeria has the largest GDP of any African country, with a population of just over 211 million, we are excited to be the first US protein to be allowed access to the Nigerian market," said NPPC President Jen Sorenson, president of the US' National Pork Producers Council.

The US pork industry in 2021 (through November) exported more than US$7.5 billion of product to more than 100 countries.
