According
to Titi Ojo, Exporters Voices Lead,
at a 2-day event titled ‘Non-Oil Exporters Dialogue’, recently in Lagos, said
there is need to create a non-obstructive workable export access that makes it
possible for Nigerian products to be globally grounded.
“Funding is usually a big challenge for traders who want to export
their products abroad; so the idea is to shut down all barriers limiting access
to finance, before we proceed to accessing a workable approach to improving international
trading,” she
said.
Also, Elizabeth Nwankwo, an exporter involved
in agro-processing said, in global trade, quality is of utmost importance and
when given purchase order there must be enough supply.
Hmmm!!! Folks, let us say the truth and shame the devil. Many
Nigerian non-oil products exporters have been defrauded of huge amount of money
in the process of exporting agricultural commodities and solid minerals 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, would you like to keep on being
scammed? Why don’t you get a practical manual that explains the stages of
export trade from processing and packaging of commodities to receipt of payment
by the foreign buyers? It explains export operations, export management, export
documentations and methods of payment in export trade? Yes, it is a
contemporary step-by-step guide to export trade. It tells all the contemporary
dynamics in export trade. To get it, click on the link below:
She
stated that Nigeria does not have the facility to ensure produce quality, so
local produce like beans are taken abroad to test and brought back to the
country, which causes increase in pricing because of the long processing.
She
also noted that to ensure quality control of export produce, farmers should be
engaged from the outset and follow up though the process. “Your product will need specification right from the input at
the farm to know the quality of goods you are producing,” she said.
Also, Sand Mba-Kalu, Executive Director of African International Trade and Commerce
Research (AITCR) said, Geographical Indication (GI) is basically about
standardising food of local origin for the global market.
“GI makes local produce accessible to the international market
through a standard product. Statistically, Nigeria is at the lowest level in
GI, because over the years, we have not put into consideration the issues of
copyright, whereas, other countries have protected the process of their local
food produce.
“There should be research funding to ensure that our food process is
maintained by the global market; a lot of organisations, even government does
not understand the procedure,” he
said. (Guardian)
