Calabar Free Trade Zone

Calabar Free Trade Zone (CFTZ) is Nigeria's first free trade zone, established in 1991 in Calabar, Cross River State by the Nigerian Federal Government as a pilot for the country's free zone programme. The zone hosts manufacturing, processing, and trading tenants including oil services companies, agro-processing, and light manufacturing, and offers tax exemptions, simplified customs procedures, and modern infrastructure for export-oriented businesses.
