Abstract
Before 1960s, the structure of Nigerian economy was typical of dependent countries in Sub- Saharan Africa, and the food manufacturing was limited to numbers of foreign investors. This dissertation addresses the food industries in Nigeria under the new perspectives of economic geography. It consists of five chapters, as chapter one discusses the historical background of food industries as illustrates the development framework of food manufacturing system at the macro level between 1960 and 2009. Since both Geo-human and Geo-physical factors are playing fundamental roles, chapter two and three discussed each respectively.The initial results of those three chapters present the deep weighted of human factors in food industries rather than physical factors through the country, especially between 2000 and 2015 as available valid data and information.This result leads to structure chapter four, which discussed the new status of food industries in Nigeria between 2010 and 2015 in the light of both available data and tracking the economic situation of the manufacturing system. This chapter considers the institutional changes in food industrial Sub-sector, the volumes of foreign support on hand, and the food industrial structure before discusses the Sub-sector manufacturing categories one by one as by geographical distribution categories on the other hand. While chapter five starts with policies affecting the food industries, it discussed also the gap analysis and the four-dimensional analysis as SWOT of food industries to reach the suggested scientific model at the end. The mentioned model offers a solution to the problem of food supply chain, which consider as a bottle-nick facing the development of food industries. It ended by new distribution of the small and middle size food manufacturing enterprises as proposed modeling to integrate with large size investments and reduce the food material wastes throughout the country. The results of this research come to clarify the problems of food industries and give suggested Short-term strategy as a solution.The results present that historically, the food manufacturing structure differ from time to time except the majority of large invested manufactures ownership
