Most
African food products are rejected at US ports, because of failure to comply
with sanitary and phytosanitary standards (SPS), and other standards, including
those relating to labeling and packaging.
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 requirements
are spelt out in the Food Safety Modernisation Act (FSMA) implemented by the
United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html
Exporters consider such conditions described as non-tariff barriers challenging
to trade. They identified rapid change in SPS measures, regulations and
notifications of new regulations as another problem facing exporters.
Speaking
with newsmen, Udofia said the standards were easy to comply with, if the
Federal Government and the private sector upgraded their processes.
According
to him, the problem with agribusiness firms is lack of technical capacity and
knowledge of the requirements and lack of the resources to implement the
systems as required.
Since
the early 2000s, the US has stipulated that foods entering their markets must
have Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) certification. http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html
HACCP certification is a systematic preventive approach to food safety from
biological, chemical, and physical hazards in production processes that can
cause the finished product to be unsafe and designs measures to reduce these
risks to a safe level.
While
American food standards are among the most stringent in the world, Udofia said
the government could create the regulatory environment to ensure products for
export were produced under applicable
requirements.
He
said the government had to work on export certification and requests from the
US government to ensure exporters meet them before the products leave the
shores of the country. http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html
He said there were opportunities for Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)
to export more food products to American markets after working with his
organisation.
Small
and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMEs), he added, are trained in quality
management, export packaging and in adapting their products to target markets.
