FEC Bans Foreigners From Purchasing Agricultural Produce At The Farm Gate by lalasticlala(m): 6:51pm On Mar 09, 2022
The Federal Executive Council (FEC) today approved a Ban on foreigners and their representatives purchasing agricultural produce at the farm gate.

Henceforth, only licensed and duly registered LOCAL buying agents can now buy produce directly from farmers in Nigeria.

HM @NiyiAdebayo_:

—As part of the FEC approval, the Attorney-General will draft a law that will be sent to NASS to support the implementation of the new Policy.

—We will also use Commodity Associations, to which the farmers belong, to ensure effective implementation.

This is laughable. Shey farmers that wants to quickly sell their perishable farm goods if possible at the farm to cut off cost of transportation to the market.

Knee-jerk reaction!

An outright ban is not enough... There should be a body of legislation that helps preserve our FOREX and punitive sanctions for defaulters!
