Sustainable International Trade: Opportunities for Nigeria in the Korean Market

In recent years, sustainable international trade has emerged as a key driver of global economic resilience, particularly among nations seeking to balance growth with environmental responsibility. This study examines the opportunities for Nigeria to enhance its trade relations with South Korea from a sustainability perspective. Drawing on secondary data, including trade reports, policy documents, and scholarly literature, the paper examines Korea’s sustainable trade strategies—especially in renewable energy, technology, and green manufacturing—and analyzes how Nigeria can adapt similar models to enhance its export competitiveness. Findings suggest Nigeria’s agricultural, renewable energy, and creative industries hold significant potential for sustainable trade expansion in the Korean market. However, infrastructure deficits, weak trade policies, and limited market access remain substantial barriers. The study recommends strategic policy alignment, investment in green industries, and the establishment of sustainable trade frameworks between
