Oyinbo doesn't need anything from Nigeria except our oil

GeneralPula:
Why won’t they..

When 70% of what Nigerians love to consume are imported things..

If you as a Nigerian doesn’t like to use Made in Nigeria produce, why should a foreigner likes it? Are we leading by example?

Jokes on Nigerians!

Funny.

....why the importance of international trade.
Import and export.....
Nigeria tends to have the notion that we are not closely watched......
Any serious exporter who meets international best practices will.have little or no problem in exporting his goods as long as there's the need and also the binding agreements.
If we were serious , it would have been easy for.export from the hinterlands straight to major ports internationally....
We prefer to run rail tracks to Niger......
What's the competition in that......

These are the reason why food stuffs are cost... Every farmers want to make huge profits by selling directly and indirectly to the investors whose business is to export the farm produces.

HacheNoire:
What an irony.

Even when Nigeria has more quality food than them.

The main issues are packaging and preservation.

Don't be deceived; their genetically modified foods are far far worse.

Exactly.

The organic foods we eat is luxury to them.
We eat foods in their season, unlike them.

It is very sad how they can ban our food but they impose GM foods( genetically modified foods) on us, they also impose foods which are high fructose corn syrup food on us. How can you boil corn and in 10 to 15mins,that corn is cooked?
How can you eat a fruit and in the fruit, there are no seeds in it?
How can you eat a fruit, and when you dispose that fruit on the ground, 5 mins later , no single ant or flies are on that fruit.
How can you eat a fruit and in the first bite of the fruit, it feels like you are biting plastic and your mind tells you, this is different.
When you look at their eggs, you will see that it is all white and not brown. This is because they practice inorganic farming practices. Those who practice poultry farming, when you feed your chicken on organic matters, you will get organic eggs.

In Africa, we may have failed to apply some certain standard in farming process but I can say that our produce still come out natural and organic but the west are known to manufacture food that are making us dig our graves too early.

how did they impose Gm foods on us? Lmao
It’s a choice now

43Ronin:
wrong! They are importing from Ghana, Jamaica, carribeans because their exporters do basic things like clean your food and package properly before export. You need to understand that its Africans tha eat African food not oyinbo.

Ok. Noted, though I haven't actually verified your claim but at least it's probable.

But it's not about who eats what.

If it hurts their economy, they'll reject it even if it's Africans that eat it

"She, however, noted that the agency is responding to the challenge by collaborating with the agencies at the Ports by ensuring that goods meet the regulatory requirements of the importing countries and destinations."

What are these regulatory requirements for exports and imports? Are these regulatory requirements being made available to Nigerian farmers to follow before shipping their farm products to overseas?

Listen, you want to retaliate against countries that reject Nigerian good, but you cannot succeed unless Nigerian farmers package their farm products to meet the international requirement. So, what is the Nigeria NAFDAC position on 70% rejection of food made in Nigeria?

I want Nigeria NAFDAC to say (1) Nigerian farmers have met regulatory requirements for exporting farm products overseas and US and EU still refuse to accept Nigeria food. (2) whether US and EU have refused to acknowledge regulatory requirements met by Nigerian farmers. But so far Nigeria NAFDAC has not been to say, publicly, what part of regulatory requirements Nigerian farmers have failed to meet--leading to 70% rejection of Nigerian foods by US and EU.

To Nigeria NAFDAC, be honest with the Nigerian public about what part of regulatory requirements Nigerian farmers have met and which part they have not met. That way Nigerian public can reject foods from countries that reject Nigerian foods as well. Nigeria cannot be a dumping ground for overseas food, period. IF other countries reject Nigerian foods, Nigerian should reject other countries foods as well.

actually Africa ...

We have nothing to offer apart from our mineral resources

Imagine I get garri for house , I no fit pack am on top beans chop cos the sand when de inside the garri reach to build Aso Rock Clinic .

I been think say na the woman get sandy garri only , I don buy from two different people , na same thing ,, before I drink am now , I must use plenty water filter am ,, that means all the time I de use am do Eba swallow , na sand just de store for my stomach organs ...


The bottom line is that , the reason we don't live as half as long as our ancestors is because we eat so many chemicalised , adulterated and contaminated foods everywhere , worse if you don't prepare your own meals but eat all these fast foods , Mama put , buka and Aboki suyas ,, na die you de

LeoDeKing:
Importers and exporters quickly come to mind. Those people who usually boast of containers on high sea.

Even in Nigeria, I have stopped buying anything in traffic hold up especially in Lagos because everything is fake including food items. The only item I buy in traffic these days is bottled water and I have to carefully check if it is properly sealed.

Imagine plantain chips fried with a mixture of condemned palm oil and black engine oil. Is that not murder?

you're a bigot even when and where bigotry isn't needed

Nigerians with sharp practices.
Change your ways

AdaojoTheUrchin:
Sometimes it is not just about quality, it is also about Politics. No serious country likes having food imported into its country.

Don't mind these ignorant folks. When China has issues with US, they place ban on beef on flimsy excuses. Some US products are banned in UK if it contains certain ingredients/chemicals or doesn't meet some "standards" usually solved politically. More often than not, it is more of politics and market protection than sanitation.

All they need is say that some people suspected of having malaria touched the packaging. Voila! I guess some Nigerians do not understand that malaria is treated like ebola in UK/US. They will quarantine your ass.

Atleast they are tagged import exporters and their sin is condemnable, [color=#990000][/color] imagine those from brown roof republic claiming sophistication who butcher their fellow humans like beef in the name of making wealth, the choice is very clear isn't or u want to ask how Chinese attended their supposed economic strength by exporting allegedly substandard products, go and sit down and stop generalizing, descendant of fallen angel

We don't have leadership and as a result lack direction.

Qaulity leadership provides direction, education, guidance but all these and more have been left for Nigerians to figure out.

If Nigerians are to compete favorably in global commerce and standardize goods and services, we must have Qaulity leadership at the center

Most Western countries prioritise food security

Me wey wan export garri

Not your local garri that has specks

gloryman91:

Funny.

But true

NAFDAC is not doing a good job.
Indian and Chinese import a lot of substandard products in country and not only that, they also get NAFDAC certifications/license in record time.
How's that done, madam?

You are inducting yourself with this your comment

How is it their duty to guarantee that my exported good is accepted by the importing client? If my client overseas reject my goods, it is me that will bear the loss, how is it the concern of a government agency?

I know our people very slow in reasoning, if not, this people would not have continued taking us for fools. This is nothing more than opportunity for bribe. If they have to inspect your goods for quality before it is exported, then they have created avenue for massive bribing. It is always the duty of the receiving country to check of standard of goods coming in, not the other way out.

When we travel to other countries, the checking and inspection of goods like food and diary for quality and contraband are done at the arrival, because they don't want you to bring in prohibited stuffs into their country.

But the criminal Nigerians have set up what they called quarantine agency at the departure section of the MM airport in Lagos- to intimidate and collect bribe from Nigerian students traveling abroad with egusi, yam, ogbonu etc in the name of inspection. It is not their duty to protect the foreign country, those countries have their customs and other departments doing the job their.

caandi:
how did they impose Gm foods on us? Lmao
It’s a choice now

You are not watching the news.. yes it is a choice but when the african leaders are invited and you say you won't come, they will tell you, there will be consequences.
Yes it is a choice, but when you are asked to do something your constitution, religion, traditional values does not conform with it, they will impose sanctions, cutting aid for refusing to heed to their commands.

Importation of goods that are not related to foods and drugs are not nafdac concern.but if you are to import processed foods and drugs to be consumed by the public you will need nafdac clearance to register that product.
But with export of food nafdac does not have anything to do with it.it is the regulatory body of the import bound country to access

That is why importing and exporting using nigerias terminals is hectic and expensive compared to its neighbours

I can believe this, quality if our processed products are just too poor. Packaging is terrible compared to products coming from Ghana or east Africa. We need to do more.

mariovito:
I wish they stated the reason(s) for the rejection.

Anytime the foods are rejected they always state the reasons. But for whatever reason, this report decides to leave that part out in order to drive another useless narrative. As you can see many people are being fooled as usual especially those commenting on the first page of this thread

bro these guys are all about the money and their economy no sentiments. they make their money from import dues, from taxes the importer will pay when he sells the goods to retail outlets, retail outlets in turn hire staff, pay staff and remit their taxes, and still pay their biz taxes, licensing fees etc. They are not losing in any away. na we nigerians dey chop yellow yam from carribeans and short yam from Ghana simply because our people dem no fit use broom dust yam from ground before you package am for export.

Do u think they are fool like us that we find it difficult to produce what we eat

This must be a joke. The chemical they eat na food.

You noticed that all the nafdac is after is about how to collect fees for quarantine
