Abstract
Nigeria is passing through a period of rapid population and economic growth.
Food supply has not been able to keep pace with population growth.
Shortages of horticultural produce especially fruits are often very acute because of low levels of technology in production, harvesting and storage as well as increasingly high demand for fruits arising from rapidly improving standard of living.
The paper discuss the current trends in fruit production handling and distribution and attempts some projections for the future.
