Food Exportation: My Experience With NAFDAC by xynerise: 7:46pm On Feb 27, 2017
Now I know that one of the problem of exportation in Nigeria is caused by people or agency that are supposed to be supporting entrepreneurs.

My sister and I visited NAFDAC office to make enquiry on cost of exporting foodstuff like Egusi, Ogbono and other native foodstuff.

She has already package these foodstuff in a sack but was told to make enquiry at NAFDAC first.

We got there and we waited for about 30 minutes before they called us. She began to narrate her plans and asked how much it will cost to be given license.

The lady said the license will cost her N50 million for a start, imagine a business that the capital is not even up to N10 Million. These made my sister to rain abuses on the lady because she was so shocked on such exorbitant amount for a start.

Another man came out which I believe is in higher position than the lady we first met and invited us to his office. After we narrated what led to the drama, he smiled and said "She didn't even give you the right price, you will be charged N100 million for it". Just imagine.

This is how entrepreneurs are discouraged to do business abroad and they expect Nigeria to move forward.

I want to know if what these NAFDAC staff charged us is reality or just obvious exploitation?

N100M are you exporting crude oil, Please can you drop names and location of the office you visited, if possible officer that told you this for possible follow up, you don't know what this your report can do for other prospective entrepreneurs, am an entrepreneur and have dealt with Nafdac before and honestly am very satisfied with the staff behavior here in Kaduna.

This is are the simple mistake most newbies makes when they want to start exportation.Normally you are suppose to visit those agency before you proceed on your business but according what you narrated here those staff wanted extort you maybe just the way you present your business proposal.This is reason you need a credible freight forwarder who will be in position to arrange all your export documents.
According to you,the kind of exportation you about to venture is still mini exportation.

Your 2st mistake is not letting us know the city you did this. If na lagos go to the regional headquaters at oshodi. Those guys r quite professional and they wont expliot you. I dont believecan export license will be higher than an import license. I was into industrail chemical importation though.
They want to exploit u. Dont pay dem fanig. Do ur reasearch well my friend.

100 million wetin? Kobo? Because that amount is ... I can't even find the words to describe it. Everything for this country don scatter, the entire system is corrupt.
My friend, just carry your egusi & co and start distributing in our major markets in Nigeria. At least you'll become a major supplier and still make interest out of your business.

Please don't construe my position as being indifferent, however, since you have not mentioned names, you have not exactly raised any issue.

The last time i checked, NAFDAC is a government institution whose survival depends on the taxes from public citizens like you, and other Nigerians.[i] Thus, you have a responsibility to mention names/ department of whoever you spoke with to maintain the credibility of the institution.

I am aware there are morally disciplined individuals working in that particular location, so it would be unfair to label everyone a thief. NAFDAC belongs to you, you are taxed for its survival, take responsibility please.[i]

Over here in the States, government officials are very careful in their dealings with the public, because whistle blowers are very specific when reporting. Their reports are credible because they provide names, times, pictures, recordings and any evidence to support their claim. Public institutions belong to the people, take care of it.

Do you have the name of the two officials that called these mentally deranging prices for you? Start from their twitter page perhaps.

They are one of the reasons food prices are high in the country. Robbers, thieves in collared regalia.
