YAM FARMERS PRESS TO REPEAL THE LAW HAMPERING YAM EXPORT

The Export Prohibition Act of 1989 is hampering Nigeria’s yam export drive to the United Kingdom and United States, the Technical Committee on Nigeria Yam Export has said. http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html

Making this known to reporters in Abuja, the Chairman of the committee, Professor Simon Irtwange, said the Act also prohibited the export of yam derivatives.

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 this link: http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html

Irtwange, also the President, National Association of Yam Farmers, Processors and Marketers, said the committee, in partnership with other yam stakeholders, met with relevant stakeholders to ensure that the Act was repealed.

In his words: “Yam export is still on-going under the government policy on the diversification of the economy, but in the regulatory framework, we are having issues. The Export Prohibition Act of 1989 is the issue, but we have made a lot of efforts trying to advocate to relevant government agencies, ministries and the National Assembly that if we really want to diversify this economy, that law has to go.

“I think they are working on it, but if the eighth National Assembly is unable to repeal the law, as soon as the ninth National Assembly comes, we will begin to engage them from the first day. As long as that law is there, there are many people who want to come into the business who are scared.

“Export of yams has not been suspended because people still carry food products to America hiding under the guise of taking food items to their relatives there but we are not as aggressive as we wanted to be. The earlier we put the Act out of the way, the better for us.’’

The president said the National Agricultural Seeds Council (NASC) bill would address issues of regulatory and legal framework for the operations of seed companies, adding that yam farmers have had issues of the propagation of the produce.

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?

The Act, which took effect from February 1989, stipulates that any person who takes, causes to be taken, induces any other person to take, or attempts to take out of Nigeria any of the goods specified, shall be guilty of an offence and liable on conviction to imprisonment for life. http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html

The produce, which is absolutely prohibited by the Act, includes beans, cassava tuber, maize, rice, yam tuber, all products or derivatives of items from number one to five, all imported food items. (Nation)
