Minister
of Agriculture and Rural Development, Chief
Audu Ogbeh, who disclosed this said that government was already thinking of
completing the building of cashew nuts processing facilities nationwide.
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:
According
to Chief Ogbe, government will work with the cashew nuts processors and other
relevant associations in the value chain to ensure the success of the facility
in order to bolster cashew nut production.
He
described cashew nut as one of the key non-oil export products the current
administration is looking at in order to increase its revenue base, adding that
its contribution to national export earnings had been on a steady increase
since 2015.
Chief Ogbeh
insisted that the current $800 million revenue being realised from cashew nut
export to countries like Vietnam, India and United States was not enough
considering its inherent potential. He explained that Nigeria was among the top
three exporters of cashew nuts to Vietnam and India yearly. http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html
“Government would assist with cashew nuts processing machines to
enable the country double her export earnings from $800 million to $1.7 billion
annually. We send raw cashew nuts to Vietnam and India; they process, create
jobs and make two-and-half times the profit that we make. Vietnam earns $3.5
billion a year from cashew nuts bought from Africa – Nigeria, Ghana, Cote
d’Ivoire, Mozambique, Guinea Bissau and Tanzania. So, why can’t we process?” Ogbeh noted.
He
said despite the challenges facing cashew production, Nigeria was able to
increase its production volume with the country becoming the fourth largest producer
of the commodity globally.
Particularly,
the minister said the country was able to produce 220,000 metric tons in 2017
and exported 120,000 metric tonnes of cashew nuts. http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html
He also commended the contribution of the National Cashew Association of Nigeria
to the improvement of cashew farming, processing and production.
This,
he said, had boosted the contribution of the sector to foreign exchange
earnings, job creation and the growth of the Nigerian economy. The minister,
however, promised that urgent steps would be taken to ameliorate the problems
facing cashew farmers and exporters.
This,
he said, would be achieved in collaboration with other agencies directly
involved with the identified challenges to cashew production, packaging and
exportation. He stressed that Nigeria’s exports in 2017 witnessed some positive
developments, given the establishment of cashew plantations across the country.
Chief Ogbeh
disclosed that only 10 per cent of Nigeria’s annual cashew productions of
150,000 tons were processed in the country. http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html
Recall that Vetnamese cashew processing firms were forced to close shops
recently as exporters in Nigeria explored new markets to boost income.
According to NCAN, Nigerian exporters are targeting $3 billion earnings
annually to match its Vietnamese counterparts as Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)
decided to support the exporters through its Export Stimulation Fund.
The
fund would enable the exporters to acquire processing plants and technology,
which will enable them earn N1.08 trillion ($3 billion) income yearly in the
global market. According to the President of NCAN, Mr. Tola Faseru, Nigerian cashew brand is presently gaining
popularity and referred to as the best at the international market. However,
cashew nuts imported by Vietnam from Nigeria are not processed, but when
processed, the Vietnamese traders earn a huge trade surplus of $1.85 billion.
It
would be recalled that Nigeria had approached Vietnam in 2006 for technology
transfer, but the country objected to the idea in order to control the global
market. http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html
The country feared that if Nigeria should obtain the technology, its sales
would reduce and this would halt the $2 billion revenue earned annually from
the nuts in the global market. Last year, it was gathered that Vietnam sold a
ton of processed cashew nuts for $10,000 at the international market, while
Nigerian traders earned only $1,200 per ton.
However,
this year, the trend has changed as Vietnam Cashew Association’s Vice
President, Dang Hoang Giang,
explained that shortage of raw materials from Nigeria and other West African
countries had affected their firms. He explained that many cashew processing
factories, especially small cashew processing firms, had stopped operations.
Giang explained that raw cashew nut imports from Africa and the recovery rate
had decreased.
On the
other hand, Nigeria realised N144.7 billion ($402 million) from the 220,000
metric tons it exported in 2017 to other countries. NCAN president said that
about N20 billion was needed to finance cashew exports this year. http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html
Faseru
explained that if the crop comes out better, the country would have bigger
result. He explained that the association was also targeting export earnings of
about $3 billion annually to match its Vietnamese counterpart in cashew
production.
The
president said, “This can only be done or achieved by
scaling up production with our value addition and setting up factories.” Faseru
said that CBN had agreed to support the produce, especially for its value
addition to move beyond the export of raw cashew.” (NewTelegraph)
