The
deputy director, National Export Office (NEO) of the council, Mrs Veronica Oriere, said this in
Lokoja, the Kogi state capital at a one day workshop on best practices in
agricultural product drying, quality improvement and preservation for export
competitiveness.
According
to her, the council had been in the forefront of driving the non-oil export
development and diversification of the Nigerian economy with the aim of weaning
the economy from over-dependence on oil.
Oriere
said: “The workshop is packaged to address the age-long
attitude of Nigerian farmers sun drying as the sole means of produce
preservation and guard against the quality issues associated with this
practice. To lay emphasis on point drying of farm produce and prevent the
introduction of aflatoxin to reduce to the barest minimum the experienced
export rejects.”
The
NEPC added that the move was to address post-harvest handling and also reduce
the incidence of wastages occasioned by the improper preservation of farm
produce. http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html
The
trade promotion advisor of the NEPC, Hassan
Bala, noted that the council under the leadership of its executive
director, Mr. Segun Awolowo, had
been repositioned and strategically focussed to provide the needed export
support services to exporters.
According
to him, the council had been supporting operators in the value chain of
game-changing products like cashew, cassava, shea butter, sesame seeds, yam,
palm oil, solid minerals, brass, glass and aluminum works.
Bala
explained that the workshop was meant to arm the people with adequate knowledge
of how to benefit from the system, saying this would make them be an active and
valuable player in the field. He, however, appealed to the Kogi state
government to assist the council with the necessary logistics for the
establishment of NEPC smart office in the state. http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html
The
Kogi state commissioner for commerce, Sunday
Tolorunleke, said the state had placed emphasis on the development of small
and medium scale enterprises for the growth of the state’s economy.
He
said the governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello,
had approved N2 billion for disbursement to operators of SMEs across the state,
saying the fund would not be politicised as in the case of the previous
allocation.
Tolorunleke,
however, encouraged farmers and traders to improve the quality of their
products to enable them to meet the continental and international standard.

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
