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?

You go first to Nigerian Export Promotion Council first and register

Then get a lawyer to help you get a nafdac number
Or get an insider or come to abuja.
Send a tweet to their handle

The Difference between "Freight and Cargo".


The Confusion.

There had been a mix-up in what is called "freight or cargo".
Well, it normal. Any one can make such mistakes.

This mix-up comes as a result of their similarities.
In other words, the common factor between the two is that
"it refers to the transportation of "goods" from on place to another".

However there is a major difference between the two.

Here Is The Major Difference.

When we hear people talking about "Freight", this means they are
referring to movement of their goods to different places through trucks
and trains.

However, Cargo refers to making use of ships or Cargo planes to move
goods to different points.

Hence the major difference is the means of transporting the goods.

Now the difference is clear and we hope you found it helpful.

am sure she went to abuja or lagos branch. them b theives

sorry my sister you went to the wrong channel. How note the different between NAFDAC and Nigeria Agricultural Quarantine Service (NAQS), NAFDAC are responsible to certify processed Agricultural commodity or commodities while NAQS are responsible to certify raw Agricultural commodity or commodities such as Rich, yam, beans, melon, egusi all kinds of vegetable, ogbonno, sesame, ginger etc. so my sister what you require is Phyosanitary Certificate and it is only issued by NAQS order wise if you ship your consignment without this certificate your goods will be impounded. NAQS is an agency under Ministry of Agric. and function with other international countries. so this info goes to all intending exporters please be inform. for further info pls contact www.naqs.gov.ng or contact@naqs.gov.ng or call 08069824977

This your story

NAFDAC does not issue license for exporting foodstuff. It's issued by NEPC. The last time I got my license some years ago it cost me just a few thousand Naira.

I doubt if NAFDAC officials would quote such figures for any type of food licensing.
you are correct NAFDAC doesn't issue sure license. it's all issue by Nigeria Agricultural Quarantine Service (NAQS) not NEPC visit our website for details. www.naqs.gov.ng or visit our station in Lagos at MMIA Ikeja.
