The
Chief Executive Officer, Best Foods Global Limited, Dr. Emmanuel Ijewere, said farming only accounted for about 20 per
cent of activities in the agribusiness sector, while value addition and other
value chain activities were responsible for the remaining 80 per cent.
He
explained that the cashew being produced in Nigeria and exported at a meagre
sum was merely roasted in Vietnam and sold for a higher price.
He
stated that the difference in unit prices was about $20, adding that if
Nigerians had taken the pain to ‘roast it’, they would have realised higher
revenue.
While
speaking at the Moringa Export Launch in Lagos, Ijewere noted that Nigeria was
poor by choice. According to him, Nigeria is blessed with resources needed to
grow, process agricultural produce, earn good revenue and enrich the populace.
He
said Nigerians spent time on things not available in the country, rather than
concentrate on available resources to make a living. http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html
“Nigeria is poor by choice. We have an untapped multi-trillion naira
agribusiness economy. All we have to do is focus on value addition before
exportation. However, the focus should not be on exportation only. There should
be a balance between production for exportation and production for local
consumption,” Ijewere
stated.
He
added that there were a lot of untapped resources in Nigeria. Speaking further,
he said the Moringa economy was fast developing, while urging farmers to tap
into this to generate income.
Speaking
at the event, the Chief Executive Officer, Dawacom international Limited, Mr. Sontonye Anga, said Moringa had
great export potential that would generate revenue at a geometric progression
if invested in.
He
said as a farmer, he was going to invest in the Moringa business to build
wealth for Nigerians, and urged other farmers to do same in order to create a
formidable and massive economy.
He
said aside from the wealth benefits of investing in Moringa, the product had
other health benefits that would be useful in curing sicknesses common to
Nigerians.
“Experts in the agricultural sector will make sure the Moringa
economy becomes real with specific targets realisable within the next one
year,” Anga
stated. (Punch)
Have you heard this? Many
Nigerian exporters have been defrauded of huge amount of money in the process
of exporting commodities to foreign countries. Do you know why? They were not
trained on export operations, management, documentations and the best methods
of payment in export trade. This is terrible!!! Nigerians cannot continue to
lose money to foreigners in the course of export business. Exporters, why don’t
you get a practical manual that teaches the stages of export trade from
processing and packaging of commodities to receipt of payment by the foreign
buyers. It teaches export operations, export management, export documentations
and methods of payment in export trade? It is a contemporary step-by-step guide
to export trade. It tells all the contemporary dynamics in export trade. To get
