Abstract
It has been observed that many literatures on halal products and Muslim population in Africa tend to concentrate on North African countries such as Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Tunisia or that of South Africa which has less than 2 million Muslims. But Nigeria with more than 50 million Muslim population is ignored surprisingly. This paper attempts to address this seeming anomaly by providing factual insights into the market potential of halal beef in Nigeria. It reviews relevant literatures on halal products, Muslim population and demand through in–depth conceptual analysis on the materials obtained. The analysis shows that Nigeria promises to be a lucrative halal market in Africa due to its population. Its market potential is by far more than South Africa and Saudi Arabia put together. In fact, with a population of over 9 million, Kano State of Nigeria has a halal market potential higher than that of South Africa, Germany, UK, Italy, Brazil and Canada put together. As such Nigeria can be regarded as halal market goldmine that is lying untapped. What is needed is for halal beef processing companies to come and explore the halal market goldmine.
