This
is in order that Nigerian agricultural products may conform to commercial or
legal international standards, obtain necessary certification accordingly and
gain unhindered direct access to the lucrative formal international markets.
Fellow
Nigerians, are you aware that our crude oil will soon become useless? Yes, it
will, in no distant time, become valueless owing to the fact that the countries
that rely on it as their only source of energy are developing more affordable
alternative sources of energy. When this finally happens, what will we do? How
are we currently preparing for this imminent economic doom? Which other sector
will continue to stabilize our economy? Nigerians, the only solution is
developing the agricultural sector. In fact, this is the only solution. Very
soon, the major source of revenue will become agriculture and agro-exports. How
are you positioning yourself to play big in agro-export business? 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? Yes,
arm yourself with the contemporary trends in export trade. This manual 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.

The
chairman of NICERT, Prince Ajibola
Oluyede, while speaking at a presentation made on the invitation of the
Federal Ministry of Agriculture’s Agri-business and Market Development
Department in Abuja, decried the spate of rejection of Nigerian agricultural
products by the lucrative international markets. He emphasised that the
unwholesome trend is creating a negative geographical indication for Nigerian
goods generally and making it even more difficult for Nigerian goods to access
the lucrative formal international markets.
He
provided facts and figures showing that Nigerian agricultural goods were now
being trafficked through other countries that repackaged or processed them in
accordance with required standards and got all the value which Nigerian farmers
are being denied. http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html
Giving
examples of yam, Shea butter, cashew and Ginger, which Nigeria was a leading
producer of, but which were trafficked or exported as raw materials only to
create thriving processing industries in Ghana, Vietnam and China respectively.
He stated that the losses to Nigeria in employment opportunities, transfer of
technology and industrialisation were unquantifiable.
He
urged the Federal Ministry of Agriculture to “take the
lead in setting standards that reflected global standards such as Global
G.A.P., Fair-trade and even organic standards for Nigerian agricultural
producers so that a culture of production in accordance with international
requirements and best practices could be inculcated in our agricultural
production systems. This would also build confidence in international markets
for Nigerian agricultural production and make conformity with the standards of
those markets and required certification easy.”
Prince
Oluyede applauded the Nigerian Organic Movement, which had for several years
been quietly working on creating such a culture amongst its members, in
accordance with International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movement
(IFOAM) standards, but pointed out that this was not enough because it was the
duty of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and the States Ministries across
the federation to lead such a revolution. (Leadership)
