MINISTER HIGHLIGHTS HOW RAW COTTON EXPORT UNDERMINES INDUSTRIALISATION

The federal government has underscored the unprecedented opportunities for economic growth and development the cotton sector offers African economies but cautioned that continued export of raw cotton with little or no value addition by the continent’s producers was unsustainable in view of global instability in the prices of the commodity. http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html

Government said the quest for industrialisation can only be attained if African economies can develop this viable sector and put in place a profit- oriented goal setting agenda and a performance – based  holistic review. Minister of state for Industry, Trade and Investment, Aisha Abubakar,  said this at the 16th African Cotton Association (ACA) Annual International Congress in Abuja.

Abubakar, who highlighted the sharp decline in the contribution of Cotton Textile and Garment (CTG) sector to the Nigerian economy, said it was regrettable that while Asia and India produce 60 per cent of global cotton  output, Africa produces only about 16 per cent in spite of its huge potentials.

Abubakar therefore charged the continent’s economies to leverage on their potentials and develop their capacities by strengthening the sector and providing producers the support to enhance competitiveness and technology if they wished to be competitive in the global market arena. http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html


She said: “The global market value was about  $1.6 trillion in 2015 alone, and this shows how important the sector is to the economies of the producing countries. It, therefore, means that Africa’s quest for industrialisation can be achieved by developing this viable sector.’’

Permanent secretary, ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment, Mr. Edet Akpan, also said there was the need for the right capacity and technology in the production of highly – competitive cotton and other products needed for both domestic and international markets if Nigeria was to benefit substantially from the sector.

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:

Hmmm!!! Folks, have you ever imagined how the financial status of your firm will be when more than 20,000 CEOs and other key decision makers of blue-chip corporations pay for your products and services or even give you very juicy deals.
