India has significantly increased its purchase of urea from Nigeria, Egypt and Algeria amid rising costs due to disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. The country has imported around 1.1 million tonnes of the fertilizer, highlighting growing reliance on African suppliers.
Nigeria and India have also expanded their economic ties, with bilateral trade reaching $9 billion. The partnership is strengthening across multiple sectors including energy, agriculture and technology. This growth reflects a broader strategic alignment between the two nations.
The increased trade volume comes as global supply chains face challenges, prompting both countries to deepen cooperation. Nigeria’s role in supplying essential goods like urea underscores its importance in regional and international markets.
The partnership is expected to continue growing, driven by mutual economic interests and shared development goals. Both nations are working to enhance collaboration in key areas to support sustainable growth.
