Description
Nigerian Government representatives conducted talks with Indonesian counterparts to relax restrictions on imports of Indonesian crude palm oil into Nigeria.
Notes
According to official sources, Indonesian Government representatives initiated talks with Nigerian counterparts to revive shipments of Indonesian crude palm oil (CPO) to Nigeria. Reportedly, CPO trade between the two countries has fallen sharply over the last few years, as Nigeria introduced import restrictions to protect its foreign exchange market and stimulate domestic oil palm cultivation.
