Why is kolanut highly demanded in the International Market?

Niyi Briggs · Jun 20, 2023

Today, I was with a senior customs officer and we were talking about products that can be exported and are hot in demand in the international market.

I was pretty surprised when I heard that one of the most sought after products now in the international market is Kolanuts. I have been forced to look closely to know why Kolanuts are hot in demand in the international market.

So why do you think Kolanuts are highly demanded in the International Market. What are the uses of kolanut that makes it highly sought after.

Kolanut contains caffeine that is used as an important part of producing stimulants. It is also very important in the production of cola drinks. The irony is that it is bitter but it is used as a flavoring agent in candies.

Exportation of kolanut is one lucrative venture that one can dabble into in my country. It is easily sourced from the rural areas with a ready and attractive international market.

Well am not so sure about what you can make out of kola nut but one thing i do know is that it has a lot of health benefits .

It will possibly be because of the caffeine. It's used in caffeinated drinks and kolanut would surely be a very cheap source of that instead of coffee.

I heard that most energy drink products use extracts of kolanuts as an active ingredient. That's one of the reasons it is highly sought for in the international market added with it's medicinal properties.

I know cola nut has a very good use case, hence the high demand by the international communities, it is used in manufacturing numerous drinks that we consume on a daily basis.

I don't know much about Kolanuts and I am surprised that they sell so much in the international market. I guess they are a raw material for producing something or used as an ingredient.

Yes from what i have heard kola nut is well known for its health benefits. Though I can't really remember most of them but it has many health benefits. Hence the high demand for it.

Well I cannot categorically state the main reason why kolanut is in such high demand but I believe the there are so many reasons or importance that kola nut has which makes it to be in such high demand internationally.

Kolanuts are used even in wine production. And it also has therapeutic properties. That's why you would make much money exporting it if you have it in abundance in your country.

I have asked this same question to someone that deals on exporting kolanuts. The person said that it is because kolanuts gave medicinal value.
