How?

Good for us. I wish this country will learn how other countries protect their citizens unlike us who have become dumping ground for other country. Nigeria sit up!

Its simple the EU doesn't like buhari's visit to USA so they are in a way trying to show there anger.

If they ban our goods then China, India and other countries are opened for business

The same beans ordinary Nigerians are forced to eat due to the ineffectiveness of the nation's regulatory bodies.

Thank you European Union for the ban

did You read the article? Or You just rushed to comment?

Good,you spare the rod,you spoil the child.
9ja nor dey hear word,what exactly has nafdac and others been doing?

contaminated and toxic foods that we import and export are one of the sole causes of cancer...its high time we watched what we eat...the high rise of cancer amongst Nigerians its alarming...

Oyimbo r fighting really hard to break Nigeria with their stew pit economic war...they know we are nearing diversification...gabum! They drop this...Diaries God oo

What is not included in this write up is that the European Union shot itself in the foot with the sanctions imposed on the Russian Federation.

Russia replied the European Union sanctions by placing agricultural trade embargo on some agricultural products produced by the European Union.

The farmers in Europe need their local market to survive. hence the flimsy excuse used to ban imports from Nigeria.

The planet is a global community, the ripple effect of any crap like terrorism and sanctions is definitely bound to affect everyone one way or the other.

My two cents

Eyaa!! So they shud come back anytime they want to eat beans and co.
Anyway,it's a functional system not like ours in Nigeria where everything goes

The excuse by Paul Orhii, the Director-General, National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control that exporters caused the problem by not complying with regulatory requirements for semi-processed and processed commodities is untenable. NAFDAC has not conducted its regulatory oversight properly and needs to put stringent measures in place to monitor our products and guarantee them as safe for export before the next EU review in 2016. The Ministry of Agriculture did not pay sufficient attention to the problem either.

I see no reason why NAFDAC should be the ones managing this. It iS not pRACtical.
There ought to be central organisations that recieve the products from farmers
this organisatons should do spot checks on the products before accepting them for export

Cho. Read the article na, Yoruba dont produce beans, sesame oil and palm oil as much as Hausa and Igbo, on the local level, tonnes of delicious beans consumed in Lagos is sold by Hausa to Igbo who resell to Yoruba. Meanwhile, beans is favourite food in many homes, but the said pesticide applies to the produce for export I think.

And we dey consume all these things without any checks from NAFDAC o. This country no get control at all. Everybody just dey do anyhow

loomer:
Oops! All these items dey expensive before, e go come worse now o

No, it simply means that more of it would be available for local consumption.

If my elementary economics knowledge is still intact, I think that the export ban should drive down the local prices of the aforementioned items.

Feranmicharles:

But na south east people dey do palm oil bis

My paddies for London Peckham wetin we go dey chop o?

I think this is a reaction to Buhari's visit to the US.

Africans, especially Nigerians, don't see positions of responsibilities as challenging and fearsome as d Oyinbos, all they know is just sit in d office and get paid and steal money!

Despite the food ban or Oil revenue decline, all i know is that it shall be well with this country.

Anyway i don't think we are producing enough food to feed ourselves, we still import a whole lot of food items.

Abi o ...its better we do the needful and consume our products,off course subsidized by the government.

Its so appauling dt at dis 21st Century Nigeria is still Dependent on Imported commodities,I stand to be corrected if wrong bt 90% of the food we consume in dis country is imported and the masses contribute greatly to this cos we dnt even believe in locally produce anymore,Ban or No Ban,we can survive without this EU if only we can make policies dt can encourage our farmers nd the government at all level should ban importation of those products into this country

No wonder I experience some burning effects on the heart and stomach after eating some beans..

Nigerians sef.

Possibly the OPPOSITE. If you cannot export them you must sell them 'in country'. This may mean a 'glut', flooding of the market with a potential reduction in price.
