I am in negotiations with two foreign companies that want me to become their major distributor in West Africa especially to cover Nigeria, Benin Republic, Togo, Ghana and Burkina Faso.
I would like to know if I will be required to register them with NAFDAC when importing them into Nigeria.

Why would u want to import such products, when will have producers of such in Nigeria.

Not sure you can import fruit juice. Policy to support local production. They are produced locally. But you can still find out.

They are among the banned products in Nigeria. But why not write a proposal to the companies and tell them you'd like to do a joint venture with them in Africa's largest market. That way, you'd be a shareholder, you can penetrate the Nigerian and African markets and you make more money?

Chief there is a company in Lekki Free Trade zone producing Kellogg products.

All na scam

I appreciate the advises so I will probably rule out Nigeria from the list and focus on the other countries since they don't have issues with importing the products. I had my doubts about Nigeria which is the reason I had to ask first.

What is scam about the post or you just decided to make a fool of yourself. Why not avoid commenting if you have no iota of idea upstairs.

Do they produce the noodles as well? If they do please help me get their contact because I might do business with them. Thanks in advance.

When you say joint venture, do you mean building a manufacturing company itself in Nigeria?

Noodles and fruit juice are contrabands

Yes, the only way you can have such drinks in Nigeria is through local production. If you play your cards well and leverage on the money you want to use to import the products as your equity in the deal, any manufacturer would want to listen to you. Don't play it small. Get a tight business plan that captures your intent or at least a proposal ...talk to them and I see something positive coming out of it. You can only manufacture them here but can't import.
