Abstract

Objective: To explain the importance of the integration of market intelligence with SWOT Analysis in making the Nigerian agricultural export competitive. Method: A literature review and synthesis of empirical studies was undertaken to develop theoretical framework upon which the exposition of cocoa export in Nigeria is anchored.
Results: Though the literature review revealed that there is scepticism on the practicability in the use of market intelligence, the analysis of the Nigerian cocoa case in this paper shows that the concept of market intelligence is not an abstraction. Thus, the paper through integration of market intelligence and SWOT Analysis reveals why Nigeria is doing poorly in economic diversification through agricultural produce export
Contribution: The paper demonstrate the importance of marketing and strategic management in agricultural export and economic diversification of the Nigerian economy. The paper equally provides a paradigm shift in making Nigeria export products competitive.
