OP your topic title is misleading. See below embolded

“So, we have just exposed our pigeon pea to the Indian market, “he said.

According to him, this has given rise to expanded trade relationships between Nigeria and countries due to effective analysis and certification of products.

Isegbe said that the agency would continue to explore its mandate to fast track more commodities for export for foreign exchange earnings.

“There are other culinary herbs and spices here in Nigeria, it’s like we are used to it, we eat it every day, we don’t value it, but overseas, it costs a lot of money.

“So, we are trying to encourage exporters to go to those specialist areas to export, but then there are processes and standards they need to follow.

“We must observe all rules to ensure that our commodities are certified before entering the foreign market,” Isegbe said.

Do we have enough for consumption? A cup of pigeon pea is over #70. Why not we attain self sufficiency before exportation?

The OP and people condemning cant read at all.India is buying from us not the other way round.

Okay, I get your point. It's not enough to be honest. We have to be self sustaining before thinking of exporting. Some of the hike in commodities price today is due to export hereby creating scarcity of the product in situ.

the MOD that carried this to front page needs psychometric analysis

jarkbauer:
Only IPOB yoots will believe this.

OP change your name to DUMB Ifeanyi

$100 billion dollar is Nigeria's budget for 5years

Don't display your ignorance here. Did you understand the news at all?

Assuming the story is not FALSE, it is a good thing.
It will promote more investments in the farming and related activities for pigeon peas due to increased income to farmers and entrepreneurs as well as EMPLOYMENT growth plus TAXES to government for electricity, tap water, roads, schools, clinics etc.
Why should anyone complain?

dumebiifeanyi: The title is misleading, it makes it look like Nigeria is importing when we are the ones exporting. It should be "India places order for pigeon pea worth $100 billion from Nigeria"
