Nigeria is a principal producer of kola nuts producing about 150,000 tons annually of which over 90 % are locally consumed.

Kola is usually in two varieties namely bitter kola and kola nuts. Though the focus of this manual is on bitter kola export, It is important to note that the kola nuts variety can be further sub-divided into Gworo and Igbo Oji. While gworo is mostly consumed in the Northern part of the country, Igbo oji is mostly consumed in the Eastern part of the country and they play a very significant role in the custom and tradition of the people of the Eastern region.

Kola trees are natives of central and West Africa and are distinguished primarily by the medicinal and stimulant properties of their nuts, barks and leaves.

Bitter {Garcinia} Kola is one of the varieties of kola that can be found in the Nigeria which are mostly found in the southern parts of the country and some of their uses are stated below.
