Dried And Smoked Fish Export – How To Serve The Demand Of Africans Living Abroad by CHIBYKEGLOBAL: 10:14am On Sep 19, 2016 |
According to a study sponsored by the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations, the quantity of dried and smoked catfish, tilapia and other types of fish exported from West Africa to the United Kingdom was estimated at over 500 tonnes per year; with a retail value of nearly $20 million. Nigeria alone exports about 5 tonnes of smoked fish per month (via airfreight). Other major exporting countries are Ghana, the Ivory Coast, Senegal and Cameroon. However, with stricter regulations on food imported into the US and Europe, Africans are finding it difficult to exploit the million-dollar foreign market for smoked and dried fish. This article reveals the secrets of the trade and how you can take advantage. A quick introduction to the dried and smoked fish export business in Africa The huge trade in smoked-dried fish is a consequence of the growing demand by the increasing number of Africans living in the diaspora. The US and Europe remain the major destinations for Africans who venture abroad. As a result of this transcontinental migration, and a growing appreciation for African flavours and food, the demand for dried and smoked fish appears to be going through the roof. While it was easy in recent years to send container loads of smoked fish across the seas to the US and Europe, increasing health and bioterrorism concerns have led to very strict rules on imported food and animal produce. We shall examine the two largest markets for dry and smoked fish, their strict regulations and how you can meet them to make money from these huge markets. It is important to note that up to 40 percent of smoked fish exported from Africa is detained, returned or destroyed at US and European ports due to simple mistakes such as improper packaging and labeling, inadequate compliance with paperwork, insect infestation and mould growth on the products. To be successful in this business, you must focus on the details and be careful to comply with ALL the requirements. For Import and Export matters visit chibykeglobal.com.......... 4 Likes |
