Buhari Foreign Trip Yielding Result:nigerian Beans To Be Allowed Into Europe


An European Union team came to inspect NAFDAC’s central lab

– The visit is set to lift the ban on Nigerian beans and other agricultural products

– NAFDAC assures that exported goods go through rigorous screening

In what might be considered a boost to Nigeria’s export trade, there are indications that the European Union may lift its ban on the importation of Nigerian beans, Vanguard reports.

The European Food Safety Authority placed a ban on the importation of beans from Nigeria to European countries in 2015 but there are indications this will be lifted by June.

The European authority banned some agricultural produce which included beans from Nigeria, on the basis that the rejected beans were found to contain between 0.03mg per kilogramme to 4.6mg/kg of dichlorvos pesticide, when the acceptable maximum residue limit is 0.01mg/kg.

The new development came after the visit of an EU team to the central laboratory of the National Agency for Food Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) in Lagos.

The team was reportedly in Nigeria to carry out an inspection on the procedures of NAFDAC to ensure that future exports of beans and other agricultural produce from Nigeria meet the standards of importing countries.

Mrs. Yetunde Oni, who is the acting director general of NFDAC, said during the inspection that the beans that resulted in the ban were smuggled out of Nigeria and did not pass through the agency. She said the ban had had a negative effect on Nigeria’s economy. “The ban was placed about a year ago due to high insecticide residue in beans but let me sound a note of caution here that the beans that were rejected never passed through NAFDAC, they were beans produce smuggled out of the country.

The ban has brought about a huge economic loss in the sense that Nigeria has large expanse of land, we have a lot of farmers that produce beans and the beans are not able to go out.” She gave her assurance that agricultural produce that passes through the agency never gets rejected because of the rigorous process it goes through before certification.

When Nigerians hardly see beans this days to eat which one them wan export?

Soon it will be exporting garri while importing grass

What this country should be exporting is not staple food but thing like Hyde's and skin, cocoa , rubber , others.

We need real technocrats no aspiring pencil producers

well is not a bad idea but has the masses feed well? because when look at the current price of most commodity especially that of beans is to high, average Nigeria can not afford the price in the market. less i forget that Nigeria still importing beans from neighboring country such chad, Niger and Benin republic. Then where do we get this present beans we want to export to Europe because there is low production of beans in our economy when compare to the price

Useless lie! Nigeria has been exporting beans to Europe since but it was stopped as the EU food agency found that the beans contained too much pesticides and did not meet standards, but now the ban has been lifted after Nigerian authorities reverted back to the old standard of exports....stupid lies to justify the ineptitude and frivolous travels of this president.

I will vote him a gazillion times over.

My only fear is, hope we don't run out of beans to feed Kanu and his gang on account of this. As we export, we should bear in mind the plight of our prisoners in Kuje.

Prisoners they may be, but they are still the zoo citizens- government should always remember that. Would be very bad to hear Kuje zoo prisoners are starving.

I doubt you've seen this Lalasticlala.

Hello my doppelganger

Good news.
Also imagine the effects of these food contaminants on Nigerians

Why are our leaders always in a hurry to impress the Western world? This is the neocolonialism Kofi Annan talked about. They still controlling us with policies, and "policy is governmen."
Give us the beans, flood the market with our beans first, when its cheap the rest can be shipped or stored if they don't wanna buy.

Until it happens and i see the money being used strategically. Then i will thumbs up.

A MILLION LIKES FOR AJANI THE TRAVELER!!!

Please what is the Yield Percentage ?

Another lies 4rm APC

When we are yet to have enough for self sufficiency we are talking of exports!
Misplaced priorities

I hope Uncle Lai has nothing to do with the spread of this news. If he does, then I'm sorry but I'm gonna have to question the authenticity of this news.

I hope this not another propaganda sha
