A Health-Conscious Nigerian Chain Expands to Downtown D.C.
Nuli, the Nigeria-based, fast-casual chain, hopes to challenge misconceptions about African cuisine, one jollof super bowl at a time — through its first U.S. location opening soon in downtown Washington. Scheduled to round out The Square food hall (1850 K St. NW) in August, the health-food restaurant's warm bowls and toasted wraps not only emphasize nutrient-rich African ingredients locally sourced from the DMV, but they also reflect culinary traditions across the continent's 54 countries, including its Mediterranean and Indian influences. 'We need to tell these stories of how, at the end of the day, we are one people,' said Ada Osakwe, the Lagos-based entrepreneur and founder behind Nuli. 'Broader than Africa, just we are one, and we need to break down those barriers for building this community.' Nuli founder and Lagos-based entrepreneur Ada Osakwe. Gazmudu The freshly baked naan bread surrounding the toasted wraps is a nod to the Indian diaspora on the African continent — its best sellers are the Naanini and Naan Pepper wraps. Osakwe added couscous as a base option to some of Nuli's bowls because it's something she ate during the four years she lived in Tunisia and worked in development finance for the African Development Bank Group. 'When I lived in Tunisia, that was an eye opener for me,' Osakwe tells Eater. '…That for me was the foundation in terms of realizing that we had such diverse cultures on the continent. North Africans were quite different from us.' Jollof-flavored pasta, called Pasta Magic. Nuli Foods As for the West African influence, Nuli's warm bowls come in a smoky jollof version as well. Its fonio, couscous, and rice offer the red pepper flavorful spice that jollof is famous for, Osakwe said. You can order your bowls with tandoori chicken, spicy prawns, or lamb meatballs, alongside vegan options that include avocado or veggie meat chunks. Osakwe highly recommends that you order sweet plantain fries as a side. Fonio super bowls combine the ancient, protein-packed West African grain with fresh vegetables for a cold salad, or a warm, stir-fried bowl. Salad dressings and Tahini-like creamy spreads are designed around egusi, a West African melon seed that's rich in essential minerals and a valuable source of creamy, planet protein. Items unique to the D.C. location include steamed bean cakes known as moin-moin, and nutritious moringa smoothies and parfaits. Moringa, also known as the 'miracle tree,' has become a popular superfood. Nuli in D.C. will also use gluten-free cassava flour for the naan bread that surrounds the toasted wraps, something that is not available at the Lagos locations. And in keeping with African culinary practices, Nuli's staff will make the menu items from scratch each day. The Naanini Wrap Nuli Foods The melted beef naan wrap. Nuli Foods In Osakwe's experience, many people think of African cuisine as oily, too fatty, and visually unappealing. Or they think Ethiopian cuisine is representative of the entire continent. That's why she presents Nuli's cuisine in a familiar way — through wraps, bowls, and smoothies. 'I'm so excited about finally changing the narrative or perceptions on African food,' she said. 'It doesn't have to be this, sort of, 'What's that floating in the red sauce, I don't understand,'' Osakwe said. Nuli comes from the female name 'Anwuli' and is unique to the Igbo ethnic group in Nigeria. It means happiness or joy — 'Taste Joy,' the company's tagline, is also Nuli's ethos. Osakwe founded Nuli in 2016 when she was incorporating exercise and healthy food into her lifestyle. Her goal was making healthy food more accessible in terms of price and convenience. Beyond that, she wanted to build a homegrown brand on the African continent that translates globally and that she could eventually bring to the United States. A 'berrylicious' smoothie from Nuli's smoothie lineup. Nuli Foods 'I was tired of the Burger Kings or the Pizza Huts coming into our countries and people paying huge franchise fees for those, and yet, we weren't developing and backing our own people,' said Osakwe, who also invests in underrepresented founders in Africa and beyond. 'So yeah, this is like a dream come true.' Tunisia is where Osakwe learned how to back projects that push Africa forward, whether they're in the agriculture, infrastructure or food system spaces. In keeping with that mission, a portion of Nuli's sales support farmer cooperatives owned by African women, who make up more than 50 percent of the farming population. Osakwe operates six Nuli locations in Lagos. In the past, Nuli partnered with Uber to deliver its juice to Lagosians. Google and McKinsey & Company have also regularly placed bulk orders for their workforces in Lagos. Nuli marks the latest spot for The Square, which houses about a dozen eateries. Las Hermanas Coffee Shop, from sisters Keren and Nataly Moreno, arrived at the end of June. Before that, Donisima, the Latin-American pop-up doughnut shop from Miguel Guerra of the Michelin-starred Mita, opened earlier in the month. Osakwe zeroed in on D.C. in part to follow the same trajectory of fast-casual chains Cava and Sweetgreen. Both of them launched their businesses in the area and now operate hundreds of locations across the United States. With Chipotle Mexican Grill among the chains leading the way, the global fast-casual market is expected to grow by $181.6 billion between 2024 and 2029, according to Technavio, a global market research and advisory firm. It predicts that North America will comprise 43 percent of that expansion. To that end, Osakwe hopes to spend the next decade opening 1,000 Nuli locations across the United States. 'What Chipotle is for Mexican-inspired food, what Cava is for Mediterranean-inspired food, Nuli is that for African-inspired food,' Osakwe said.

Sugar Prices Higher as USDA Curbs Specialty Sugar Imports
October NY world sugar #11 (SBV25) today is up +0.29 (+1.78%), and August London ICE white sugar #5 (SWQ25) is up +17.30 (+3.69%). Sugar prices are trading higher today. The USDA announced late Monday that the US will not import any specialty sugar beyond what is required by international trade laws, "in alignment with Secretary Rollins' Farmers First policies." Coffee Prices Surge on Dry Conditions in Brazil and Tariff Threats Coffee Prices Sharply Higher on Dry Weather in Brazil and Tariff Threats Grain Market Bears Seized the Moment Last Week. What That Means for Corn, Soybeans, and Wheat. Markets move fast. Keep up by reading our FREE midday Barchart Brief newsletter for exclusive charts, analysis, and headlines. On the bearish side, Pakistan today revised its sugar tender (with bids due July 22) sharply lower to 50,000 MT from its previous indication of a 300,000 MT tender. Pakistan's cabinet on July 8 approved an increase in sugar imports to stop what it called artificially high domestic sugar prices. Expectations for a sugar surplus in 2025/26 are bearish for sugar prices. On June 30, commodities trader Czarnikow projected a 7.5 MMT global sugar surplus for the 2025/26 season, the largest surplus in 8 years. On May 22, the USDA, in its biannual report, projected that global 2025/26 sugar production would increase by +4.7% y/y to a record 189.318 million metric tons (MMT), with global sugar ending stocks at 41.188 MMT, up 7.5% y/y. The outlook for higher sugar production in India, the world's second-largest producer, is bearish for prices. On June 2, India's National Federation of Cooperative Sugar Factories projected that India's 2025/26 sugar production would climb +19% y/y to 35 MMT, citing larger planted cane acreage. The outlook for abundant rainfall in India could lead to a bumper sugar crop, which is bearish for prices. On April 15, India's Ministry of Earth Sciences projected an above-normal monsoon this year, with total rainfall forecast to be 105% of the long-term average. India's monsoon season runs from June through September. On Monday, the India Meteorological Department reported that rainfall in June was 9% above normal in India and has forecast above-normal rain for July. Signs of larger global sugar output are negative for prices. On May 22, the USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) predicted that Brazil's 2025/26 sugar production would rise +2.3% y/y to a record 44.7 MMT. Also, India's 2025/26 sugar production is projected to rise +25% y/y to 35.3 MMT, citing favorable monsoon rains and increased sugar acreage. In addition, Thailand's 2025/26 sugar production is expected to climb +2% y/y to 10.3 MMT. In a bearish factor, the Indian government said on January 20 that it would allow its sugar mills to export 1 MMT of sugar this season, easing the restrictions placed on sugar exports in 2023. India has restricted sugar exports since October 2023 to maintain adequate domestic supplies. India allowed mills to export only 6.1 MMT of sugar during the 2022/23 season to September 30, after allowing exports of a record 11.1 MMT in the previous season. However, the ISMA projects that India's 2024/25 sugar production will fall by -17.5% y/y to a 5-year low of 26.2 MMT. Also, the ISMA reported last Monday that India's sugar production from Oct 1-May 15 was 25.74 MMT, down -17% from the same period last year. In addition, Indian Food Secretary Chopra said on May 1 that India's 2024/25 sugar exports may only total 800,000 MT, below earlier expectations of 1 MMT. The outlook for higher sugar production in Thailand is bearish for sugar prices. On May 2, Thailand's Office of the Cane and Sugar Board reported that Thailand's 2024/25 sugar production rose +14% y/y to 10.00 MMT. Thailand is the world's third-largest sugar producer and the second-largest exporter of sugar. Sugar prices have some support from reduced sugar production in Brazil. Unica reported today that the cumulative 2025/26 Brazil Center-South sugar output through June is down by -14.3% y/y to 12.249 MMT. Last month, Conab, Brazil's government crop forecasting agency, said 2024/25 Brazil sugar production fell by -3.4% y/y to 44.118 MMT, citing lower sugarcane yields due to drought and excessive heat. The International Sugar Organization (ISO) raised its 2024/25 global sugar deficit forecast to a 9-year high of -5.47 MMT on May 15, up from a February forecast of -4.88 MMT. This indicates a tightening market following the 2023/24 global sugar surplus of 1.31 MMT. ISO also cut its 2024/25 global sugar production forecast to 174.8 MMT from a February forecast of 175.5 MMT. The USDA, in its bi-annual report released May 22, projected that global 2025/26 sugar production would climb +4.7% y/y to a record 189.318 MMT and that global 2025/26 human sugar consumption would increase +1.4% y/y to a record 177.921 MMT. The USDA also forecasted that 2025/26 global sugar ending stocks would climb +7.5% y/y to 41.188 MMT.
