The Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC), in collaboration with the International Trade Centre (ITC), is taking strategic steps to address the growing challenge of export rejection of Nigerian cowpea and sesame seeds in international markets.
In this video, stakeholders from NEPC and ITC discuss the causes of export rejections, including quality standards, pesticide residue limits, traceability requirements, packaging, and compliance with international regulations. The partnership aims to strengthen the capacity of farmers, aggregators, processors, and exporters to meet global market standards and enhance the competitiveness of Nigerian agricultural exports.
