Nigeria Animal Feed Market Report Overview
The Nigeria animal feed market reached approximately 15.45 Million Tons in 2025 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of around 1.80% during the forecast period of 2026-2035. Rapid urbanisation driving growing demand for meat and dairy-based products, the livestock sector contributing approximately 5% to Nigeria's GDP, the Nigerian government's target of over 50 million metric tonnes of annual animal feed production, large-scale FDI into Nigeria's feed sector from global agribusiness firms, and increased adoption of compound feed in commercial poultry and aquaculture operations are driving Nigeria animal feed market growth. The market is expected to reach 18.47 Million Tons by 2035.
Key Market Trends and Insights
- The Compound Feed type is expected to account for the largest Nigeria animal feed market share over the forecast period, driven by the strong demand for commercially manufactured poultry, pork, and aquaculture feeds from Nigeria's growing commercial farming sector, the rising adoption of standardised and nutritionally balanced compound feeds to optimize livestock growth and feed conversion efficiency, and the Nigerian government's target to significantly scale commercial animal feed production.
- The Poultry livestock type is expected to account for the largest Nigeria animal feed market share over the forecast period, driven by the strong and widespread consumption of poultry meat and eggs as a staple of the Nigerian diet, the growing demand for affordable animal protein as urbanisation and disposable incomes rise, and Nigeria's position as the largest poultry market in West Africa with significant commercial broiler and layer operations requiring high-quality compound feed.
- The Corn raw material type is expected to account for the largest Nigeria animal feed market share over the forecast period, driven by corn's role as the primary energy ingredient in poultry, pork, and aquaculture compound feed formulations, corn accounting for approximately 40-60% of most compound feed formulations in Nigeria, and Nigeria's significant corn production base supplying both domestic food and feed processing sectors.

Key Trends and Recent Developments
The Nigeria animal feed market is driven by rapid urbanisation and growing demand for meat and dairy products, the livestock sector's 5% contribution to Nigeria's GDP, the Nigerian government's ambitious animal feed production targets, large-scale investment by global agribusiness firms including Olam Agri and Nutreco, the 25% Lagos State feed subsidy program, and the growing commercialisation of poultry and aquaculture operations demanding high-quality compound feed.
Olam Agri opened a USD 50 million soybean crushing plant and feed mill in Ilorin, Kwara State in April 2026, the largest of its kind in sub-Saharan Africa with 250,000-350,000 MT annual soybean processing capacity. The plant primarily sources soybeans from local farmers, strengthening Nigeria's domestic supply chain and building on Olam Agri's existing feed operations.
JBS, the world's largest meat processor, committed a USD 2.5 billion FDI to Nigeria's livestock sector in October 2025, aligning with Nigeria's National Livestock Transformation Programme (NLTP). The investment is expected to significantly boost commercial livestock production and drive additional compound animal feed demand.
Lagos State launched a 25% feed subsidy programme for poultry and fish farmers in January 2025, addressing the challenge that feed costs represent approximately 70% of operational costs in commercial livestock operations. The programme is expected to expand commercial poultry and fish farming in Lagos, driving additional compound feed demand.
Nutreco N.V. opened a USD 26.7 million poultry and animal feed facility in Ibadan, Oyo State in April 2024 through its Skretting and Trouw Nutrition subsidiaries, with 125,000 MT annual capacity across 170,000 square metres. The facility reflects Nutreco's strategy of expanding in high-growth Sub-Saharan African markets.
Compound Feed - Dominant Type Through Commercial Poultry and Aquaculture Demand
Compound Feed is the dominant Nigeria animal feed market type through strong commercial demand for pellets, mash, and crumble formulations in broiler, layer, catfish, and tilapia operations. Fodder and Forage serves Nigeria's large ruminant cattle, goat, and sheep populations.
Poultry - Dominant Livestock Through Staple Meat and Eggs Consumption
Poultry is the dominant Nigeria animal feed market livestock type through widespread consumption of poultry meat and eggs as a dietary staple. Nigeria captured approximately 28.22% of the Africa poultry feed market in 2025, with the USDA estimating Nigeria's poultry meat consumption will increase tenfold by 2040 under moderate feed cost conditions.
Corn - Dominant Raw Material Through Its Role as Primary Energy Ingredient
Corn is the dominant Nigeria animal feed market raw material, representing approximately 40-60% of compound feed formulations, with production concentrated in Middle Belt states including Kaduna, Kogi, Niger, and Kwara. Soy is the key protein ingredient, with Olam Agri's Ilorin plant significantly boosting domestic soybean meal supply.
Aquatic Animal - Significant and Growing Livestock Type Through Nigeria Aquaculture Sector Expansion
Aquatic Animal is a significant and growing Nigeria animal feed market livestock type through rapid expansion of catfish, tilapia, and shrimp aquaculture. Nigeria is Africa's largest aquaculture producer, with catfish production concentrated in Ogun, Oyo, Lagos, Ondo, and Cross River states. Pork and Cattle are additional livestock segments.
Soy - Key Protein Raw Material Through Domestic Soybean Processing Capacity Expansion
Soy is a key protein raw material in Nigeria's compound feed formulations for poultry, pork, and aquaculture. Olam Agri's USD 50 million Ilorin plant, opened April 2026 with 250,000-350,000 MT annual capacity, significantly boosts domestic soybean meal supply. Wheat bran and palm kernel cake are significant supplementary ingredients.
