The study assesses the impact of selected agricultural export commodities (sesame seed, cocoa bean and cashew nut) on the Nigerian economy from 1981-2021. Specifically, the study objectives were to; analyze the trend of agriculture commodity export from 1981 – 2021 and assess the impact of sesame seed, cocoa bean and cashew nut exports on economic growth 1981 – 2021. Method of data collection was through Secondary sources. These data collected were subjected into preliminary investigation such as unit root test (ADF) to determine the stationarity and non-stationarity of the variables under study, which shows that variables were integrated of mixed order which make Auto Regressive Lag model (ARDL) a suitable model for the analysis, The Bound test of cointegration show a Long-run relationship between variables under study (F-statistics 4.3207>1(0) and 1(1) bounds values of 3.12 and 4.25 respectively at 5% level of significance. Thus, indicating the presence of Long-run relationship among variables. Diagnostic test shows the goodness of fit of the model. The result of trend analysis shows that the value of sesame from 1981-2020 was highest in the year 2003 and contributed 13.5% to GDP and declined thereafter, cashew nuts contributed 13.8% to GDP in 2003 while, cocoa beans was at it peak in 1996-2020 therefore Contributing 13.2% to GDP. The result for the long-run relationship Of Sesame, Cocoa and Cashew Nut on GDP shows that, the coefficient of cocoa, cashew and sesame as; (Cocoa: 0.38333; P=0.049<0.05@5%), (Sesame: 5.209;p=0.049<0.05) and (Cashew: 1.4860, p=0.0049<0.05) were all Statistically Significant at 5% Probability level implying that  percentage increase in Cocoa, Sesame and Cashew export will contributes to GDP by 3,8%, 5.20% and 1.48% respectively. Based on the findings from the research, the study therefore recommends the following; The government in power should attempt to diversify and promote exports in order to fully exploit the benefits of the agricultural sector and promote economic growth and the government should expand beyond oil by prioritizing high-performing agricultural commodities like sesame seed, cashew nut, and cocoa bean for export.
