Nigerian manufacturers, agricultural commodity exporters, leather goods producers and handcraft businesses have a direct route to serious B2B buyers in the UK, Europe, the Middle East and beyond. We remove the barriers that have historically made it hard for Nigerian exporters to reach international markets: payment risk, trust signals and platform access.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Nigerian suppliers really sell internationally on Towobo?
Yes — and many already do. Towobo was specifically built to help African exporters access international buyers. The platform's KYC verification and payment protection directly address the trust concerns that have historically made it harder for Nigerian exporters to win international orders.
What documents does Towobo require for Nigerian supplier registration?
Minimum: CAC Business Name or Company registration certificate and director's government-issued ID (NIN or international passport). For food/agri exporters, your NAFDAC registration or NAQS export approval. For Verified badge: business bank statement (last 3 months) and proof of export track record.
How does payment work for Nigerian exporters?
Buyer pays Towobo in their currency. After delivery confirmation, Towobo releases payment to your registered Nigerian bank account in USD or your preferred settlement currency. SWIFT transfers to Nigerian banks typically arrive within 3–5 business days.
What is the NXP form and do I need it?
Yes. The NXP (Nigerian Export Proceeds) form is required by the Central Bank of Nigeria for all formal commercial exports. Your bank issues it when you have a confirmed order and commercial invoice. Your freight forwarder or customs agent will guide you through completion.
What categories do international buyers most want from Nigeria?
Cocoa beans and derivatives, cashew nuts, sesame seeds, ginger, shea butter, palm oil, leather goods and artisanal crafts are the highest-demand categories among Towobo's international buyer base. Quality certification (NAFDAC, NAQS phytosanitary) significantly increases buyer confidence for food commodities.
