If
successful, UNIDO will officially write to EU to inform it of the improved
quality of dried Nigerian beans and that it is safe for consumption.
Meanwhile,
UNIDO has urged the Nigerian government to urgently approve the Nigerian National Quality Policy (NNQP),
which is currently at the ministerial level awaiting approval by the Federal Executive Council (FEC).
Chief
Technical Adviser, UNIDO National Quality Infrastructure project, Shaukak Malik, who disclosed this to newsmen
a few days ago at the opening of a 3-Day capacity building for sustainability
of the project , said that trade restriction was placed on Nigerian dried beans
due to the high level of chemicals, pesticides and fertilizer.
He
told newsmen that UNIDO has trained Nigerian farmers on good agricultural
practices adding that the level of chemicals, pesticides and fertilizer has
been brought down drastically.
Malik
observed that a working group under zero reject of Nigerian goods has developed
an Integrated Export Control Plan
which has been validated by both the Federal
Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and the Federal Ministry of Trade and Investment and stressed the need for
its enforcement.
He
stated that UNIDO is developing 10 training centres in Nigeria, adding that
four centres would be located in Abuja and Six in Lagos.
Malik
noted that the organization is collaborating with the National Universities Commission (NUC) to develop a curriculum on
quality management.
Also
speaking, an International accreditation Expert, Stephen Cross noted that
non-tarrif trade barriers are the strongest challenge against trading of
Nigerian goods and services.
He
said that presently, Nigerian products can be held up at export adding that
product rejection or ban at EU countries and other parts of the world can be
reduced with recognized Nigerian National Quality Policy (NNQP), accreditation
and certification bodies as metrology Institute. (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:
