They disclosed that due to the
ridiculous charges, many of them have resorted to taking their goods to Ghana
for export, to curtail the excesses of Nigerian government’s agencies.
The Chairman of Airfreight Forum, Sunday Akintunde, in Abuja, lamented
that exporters prefer to carry their goods to Ghana and export with Ghanaian
label to other parts of the world, thereby growing the economy, instead of
Nigeria’s.
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

Akintunde expressed concern that the
high tariff has pushed a lot of them out of business, as there is no return on
investment, adding that it has indeed hampered export business in the country.
He said, “We have a lot of challenges, one of it is the
cost of exporting cargo, the aim of any business man is to have return on
investment and unfortunately we don’t have that, there is so much bureaucracy
by government agencies, inspection agencies like those in charge of issuing
form CCI (Certificate of Capital Importation).”
Akintunde called on government to
review its policies and remove all the bottlenecks, adding that the world is
changing and does not do manual documentation anymore.
A member of the National Association of
Government Approved Freight Forwarders (NAGAFF), Lanre Akerekan, affirmed that quarantine services charge them N5000
per kilo of any farm produce, which is very outrageous. “The major goods that are exported out of Nigeria are foodstuffs, which is
being regulated by quarantine service, but with a tariff as high as N5000 per
kilo and you have a weight of 200kg, if you multiply that, how much is left for
you?” he argued.
Mr.
Maaruf Idris, a Shea Butter
exporter, said that the major challenge facing them is the high cost of
operations due to logistics, tariff and the delay in getting the necessary
documentations. http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html He said that before an exporter finishes
with all the certification from the various agencies, some of the goods are
already getting bad adding that there is delay in issuance of certification and
document from Nigerian Export Promotion
Council.
The Executive Secretary of Nigerian
Shippers Council, Hassan Bello,
assured that the council was working with all relevant stakeholders in the
sector to address the challenges.
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. It tells all the contemporary dynamics in export trade. To get it, click

Bello said the main objective of the
council was to fast track clearance of cargoes and ensures adequate storage of
cargoes and perishable items to attract more exporters into the business. “We have to take into consideration the cost of cargo, some
costs are not justified as they are not tied to service,” he added. http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html
He assured, “We
are not going to control cost but we will not allow arbitrary charges in the
Nigerian port industry in the course of clearing cargoes.” (Guardian)
