Recently, the European Union (EU) suspended the
export of some of the Nigerian agricultural products into the members’
countries.
The ban exposes the loopholes in our regulatory mechanisms and government’s failure to equip the relevant body certifying the nation’s agro products for exports amidst porous borders exploited by smugglers. One of the rejected products that have been in the news in recent times is the nation’s dried brown beans suspended till June 30, 2016.
