In many cases,
unscrupulous exporters, without the knowledge of owners of the agricultural
goods, ship such consignments out of Nigeria without the appropriate export
certificate being procured. http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html In other cases, no export certificate
is even procured at all, and this only becomes evident when the shipments get
to the destination and encounter challenges. At this point, either of two
options become available; return such goods to Nigeria, or destroy them at the
destination port.
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

The director general of Nigeria
Agricultural Quarantine Service (NAQS), Vincent
Isegbe, in an exclusive interview, bemoaned this practice that contributes
to Nigeria getting a bad reputation in the international community, while also
resulting in monetary losses for the owners of agricultural goods. “Some exporters just print the certificates (on their own) in
order to avoid quarantine, and the owners of the consignment don’t usually know
what has been done,” he said.
According to Isegbe, National Plant
Protection Organizations from several importing countries frequently request
for verification of the phytosanitary certificate for consignment sent to their
country. “Where those goods did not pass through
quarantine, we say we don’t know about it. Once the quarantine says we are not
aware, the exporter is left on his own,” he explained. “By implication either the commodities are sent back to the
country or destroyed at the point of import, which does not augur well for
Nigeria and the person who has suffered to package these things for export.”
According to the quarantine boss, when
exported agricultural goods are rejected and owners approach the agency, it is
discovered those goods did not pass through quarantine at all. As he explained,
the reason this illicit activity thrives is because the agency is not allowed
at the ports, hence, ensuring certificates presented at the point of export are
authentic has become impossible. http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html
“People are faking
certificates because quarantine is not there and customs will not know which
certificate is genuine or not,” said
isegbe. “If customs sees any certificate, they will
assume it is a genuine certificate from quarantine and they are bound to honour
it. So that linkage will have to be corrected.”
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.

According to Isegbe, there is some
measure of conflict of interest in administration of the ports and performance
of requisite inspections. “Customs has a target revenue
figure which they will meet,” he said.
By implication, it is less important
what is going out or coming into the country, as higher rejection rates will
imply lower revenue for the customs service. http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html Isegbe however expressed the view that
there should be synergy and a process where quality becomes important; for the
integrity of Nigerian exports, and the safety of what is imported for Nigerians
to consume. There has to be complete harmony, such that quarantine will be able
to say, “Customs, this one we are sure of it, let it go.” But where that is not
existing, unscrupulous exporters will continue to ship out agricultural goods
using fake phytosanitary certificates. (BusinessDay)
