The National Association of Nigerian Traders (NANTS) is the umbrella organization of traders in raw materials, industrial and finished goods (locally made and imported) in Nigeria.
However, to encourage and improve the interlink between market access and production of goods, NANTS membership has recently been expanded to include local manufacturers of certain items (such as shoes, garments, cosmetics, furniture, household goods), local raw material providers, etc, as well as local farmers in various agriculture produce. Women constitute about 65% of NANTS membership. |
