The figures for 2014 showed China had 799,000 hectares (1.97 million acres) of land devoted to wine growing, compared with 1.02 million hectares for Spain. France remained the biggest producer of wine and the United States the biggest consumer.
However, the multiple million acres of land under waste in Nigeria are yet to be put to full use and subsequently generate more revenue for the country.
