The market for toothpick is national. With a population of over 165 million people and an estimated national population growth rate of 5.7% per annum ,an average economic growth rate of 3.5% per annum in the past five {5} years, Nigeria has a large market for toothpick.
The demand for toothpick has been growing over the years, marked by the growing demand for fast food products. This is shown by the growth and remarkable performance of fast food restaurants in the local market.

The demand for toothpick in Nigeria is very high. This quantity doubles during holidays, vacations, weekends, summer season, and Ramadan.

Fast Food centre, restaurants and hotels constitute around 61% of the total market consumption. Before now all the products consumed in this country are all imported. With the ban on importation, opportunities have been created to local manufacturers and anybody can tap the opportunity.

The raw materials for making them are either wood or bamboo, plastic containers (with the company’s logo printed on the plastic container or printed labels). Bamboo culms 3-4 years old are selected. Species with very long internodes and relatively thin culm walls are ideal materials as their long internodes maximise the amount of useable wood available from each culm.

All these inputs can easily be obtained in the country, which is a great advantage to this project.
