We keep on complaining about how weak is our local currency while we have enormous locally produced or grown items here in Nigeria that we can be exporting day in day out in order to earn foreign currency to strengthen the naira.
It looks our government agencies and parastatals are not yet ready to assist Nigerians in achieving this.

A lot of our locally grown farm produces don’t see the light of the day or get to anywhere around the world as it should be considering our population advantage while other African countries get more export presence in every part of the world to earn foreign currency.
We mostly concentrate on importing everything from abroad with several containers coming into the country fully loaded and unfortunately go back to their destinations empty loaded.

How do we want to strengthen our economy and make naira stronger if we don’t make exportation of our locally grown produce easily exportable.

Do you want to talk about the bottlenecks from our government agencies and parastatals, so discouraging and disappointing.
It’s time for the federal government of Nigeria to declare a state of emergency in that sector and make things easy for those who are ready to take the enormous advantage of it.

Let there be more enlightenment on how to go about it and encourage a lot of local producers to earn greatly from exportation.
More importantly, when we patronize what we produce locally and we end up exporting a lot outside the country, The economy will grow drastically and will be strengthened.

Our government should endeavor to sign as many as possible memorandum of understanding with various foreign countries in order to pave way for more local productions.

I am very sure a lot of farmers and local producers are ready to up their productions when they see a clear and easy path to earn more money.

Enough is enough seeing containers going empty loaded outside our shores.

We just have to be serious for once and be the change we desire.

Export promotion at this time is about the only way Nigerians and Nigeria can benefit from the fast and steady devaluation of the Naira to the Dollar. If you can, learn how to export any local product you will earn big.

The government need to educate the citizens on benefit of exportation at this time the Naira is losing its value. It will be a win win for the citizens and the country.

are we selling our crude in naira? curruption is what our problem is, if you go to all these so called leaders houses, you will see alot of hard currencies stuffed up in there houses including the president himself, they no longer store stollen funds in naira, if you want to know where our dollers is, start by asking tinubu down to that last state governor

you want the government to start dishing out billions again for agricultural development that will end up in the hands of politicians and their tugs without a single farm

We just need to get it right at this time

Nigerians should listen to Prof Pat Utomi’s interview on Arise TV emphasizing the urgency in export and the bad attitudes of the agencies discouraging intended exporters.

You people don't understand deeply. Do we have self sufficiency first? Why export when you haven't meet up with the needs of your citizens? Self sufficiency first and that will reduce the demand for forex, then gradually moving towards more export. This will reduce the harsh demands for forex and also strengthens the Naira.

OP where in Nigeria do you have mechanized farming? Is it the hoe and cutlass farm you want to export? Just go on YouTube and watch how farming is done outside, not the till and plow method you see in Nigeria.
Can Nigeria even feed herself that you are talking of export?

If only you know the extent we still go in terms of production despite using the old ways of farming system but a lot go into loss due to so many factors.
Case study of fish farmers losses due to heavy flooding.
We can definitely start from somewhere to save our future. We don’t need to wait for any miracle to come from anywhere.
We can definitely feed ourselves and other nations.
Let the government just provide enabling environment and you will see wonders.

For self sufficiency, we are up to the task. We only need to put round pegs in round hole and you will see a lot of changes.
Let the government provide enabling environment and also incentives for local producers.
We just have to save our economy with a lot of exports and that will reduce our dependence on foreign exchange drastically.
We can do it!

There are few mechanize farms in Nigeria

We need more to become food sufficient.

What if our government deem it necessary to even spend a little of our budget to get us massive equipments in achieving this, will they lose anything?

Op if Nigeria can't increase its exports let it reduce its imports by producing some of the things it imports. Forex spent on importing refined crude, petro chemicals, steel, paper makes no sense

Good talk but will Nigerians agree especially those who make earnings from importation.
We can only balance it by exporting more than we import into this country.
Everyone will laugh.
