This study appraised the performance of palm produce marketers in Nigeria in view of the abolition of Palm Produce Marketing Board (PPMB) which hitherto performed some marketing functions to palm oil producers. Data collected through face- to-face interview with 170 palm oil producers, conveniently drawn from Abia State, were analysed using statistical tools, to ascertain the impact of the abolition of PPMB on the efficient marketing of palm produce in Nigeria. The results show, among others, that palm oil producers are better-off now, in terms of income from the sale of their produce than they were before the abolition of PPMB. Recommendations were proffered for sustainable growth in the palm produce sub-sector, which was one of the "glorious" foreign exchange earners for Nigeria before the advent of crude oil
