NEPC SETS TO EMBARK ON A CAPACITY BUILDING PROJECT FOR FARMERS FOR INCREASED MARKET ACCESS

To further aid the nation’s economic recovery through the non-oil export sector, the Nigerian Export promotion Council (NEPC), has expressed government’s commitment to enhance technical skills of smallholder farmers in acid to improve their access to global markets.

According to the NEPC, the federal government remains committed to the development of the non-oil export sector as the last defence of the economy.

Acting Chief Executive Officer, NEPC, Abdullahi Sidi-Aliyu, made the assertion a few day ago at a forum in Ogun State. Sidi-Aliyu, represented by Mrs. Evelyn Obidike, Deputy Director, Policy and Strategy, NEPC, made the remark during the Council’s, Equipment Presentation and Training on Best Practices in Cashew Processing for Value Addition and Food Safety.

He said the National Economic Council in 2017, established the National Committee on Export Promotion, to ensure effective coordination of the Zero Oil Plan in all the 36 states.

“The Zero Oil Plan is the Council’s roadmap to building an economy that does not depend on foreign exchange from crude oil. It is captured in the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP) of the Federal Government as a veritable tool for economic emancipation,” he said.

He noted that the last recession was caused by a $30 to $40billion yearly deficit in the nation’s foreign exchange earnings arising from low oil prices.

“Nigeria must replace these lost revenues in order to sustain economic growth, stabilise the naira, sustain federal and state government income and boost employment,” he said.

Sidi-Aliyu said to achieve its purpose, government rendered support to enhance the technical skills of smallholder producers of agricultural produce. (Guardian)

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 it, click on the link below:
