The Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC), through the Export Expansion Facility Programme (EEFP),
has started a capacity-building workshop to train 100 women-owned businesses on
how to export their products.
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

NEPC, in partnership with Agrochains Consult, said the five-day
workshop currently holding in Lagos would feature sessions on
institutionalising the inclusion of more women-led Small and Medium Enterprises
into the non-oil export ecosystem.
It disclosed this in a statement
issued in Abuja on Tuesday and jointly signed by a representative of EEFP, Ivy Clem, and the Chief Executive
Officer of Agrochains Consult, Titi Ojo.
The council said the target of
the training was to ensure improved packaging, branding standardised
certifications and enhancing knowledge of relevant international trade
agreements.
This, it said, would in turn help
the businesses access new global markets. The Executive Director of NEPC, Olusegun Awolowo, was quoted in the
statement as saying, “It is heartening to note the progress
women-owned businesses have made as key economic drivers in Nigeria’s non-oil
export eco-system.
“The NEPC always
strives to partner reputable private sector companies such as Agrochains
Consult in our continuing effort to create an army of exporters that will drive
non-oil exports and promote the diversification of Nigeria’s export portfolio
for inclusive and sustainable economic growth.
“The training of 100
women-owned businesses on export readiness is part of our efforts to achieve
inclusion and effective participation of women in the non-oil export sector.”
The Agrochains CEO said the focus
of the training would be on providing real-world experience, insight, in-depth
research, evidence-based information and keynotes from industry leaders.
Ojo said, “The topics being covered include leveraging institutional partnerships to
develop export competencies of the businesses, support with improved packaging,
branding, standardised certification and knowledge of trade agreements and
market requirements.
“An opportunity to
partner the NEPC/EEFP to train women CEOs on export readiness is an indication
of trust and our commitment to the businesses will exceed the five–day mark.”
Ojo said Agrochains had
structured a six-month mentorship programme to ensure participants received the
required support from experienced mentors.
