NEPC AND TOPCERTIFIER TRAIN AND CERTIFY 12 AGRO-ALLIED COMPANIES ON EXPORT

In order to ensure compliance with international standards and encourage export of value-added agro-industrial products to the western markets, the
Nigeria Export Promotion Council (NEPC) has facilitated international training and certification for 12 Nigerian agro-allied companies.
 
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

According to the council, this training would improve global participation of Nigerian food processors and entrepreneurs, which, in turn, would deepen production, employment opportunities and gross domestic product (GDP). The selected participants were trained on Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP), one of the certifications required in exporting products to the United Kingdom (UK). For food industry export to the western world, standards, such as Food Safety Management System (ISO 22000); Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP), British Retail Consortium (BRC), Food Safety System Certification (FSSC 22000), Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), are required.
 
Participants at the training included Answer Industries Limited, Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State; Tuns and Partners Farm, Abeokuta; Blessed Barn Nigeria Ltd, Abeokuta; Natureffects Limited, Ilese-Ijebu Ogun State; Amy Farm House Limited, Port Harcourt; Eden Moringa Production & Marketers Limited, Abuja; C.B.S Agro Limited, Abuja; Grafil Farms Limited, Anambra State; Sumas Agro & Industrial Marketing Ltd, Enugu State; Facel Industries Nigeria Limited, Enugu and Jafib Farmers Multi-Purpose Cooperative Society Limited, Enugu.
 
The trainer, TOPCertifier, while stressing on the importance of the training for businesses, made it clear that certification in Nigeria had been primarily driven by the robust local food commodities industry, supported by a strong demand from cosmetic and small-scale manufacturing industries. He said, “With the current COVID-19 scenario, we have seen new demand from food products, medicines, medical devices, personal protective equipment (PPE) like masks, gloves.” Internationally, organisations are placing more emphasis on processes and certifications in the current scenario.
 
Businesses are required to get certified for regulatory purposes, including safe and secure workplace, safe products, to protect customer and public information and legal and regulatory compliance. Others are for contractual purposes such as requirement for export, eligibility for tenders, requirement for vendor empanelment, compliance with client processes and compliance with industry best practices. Parts of the purposes are branding credibility, brand positioning, edge over competitors, satisfied employees and satisfied customers.
