The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), has said that over 70 per cent of food exports from Nigeria were rejected abroad with huge financial losses to the exporters and the country at large.
Director-general of NAFDAC, Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, who disclosed this in a statement on Sunday has, however, called for more collaboration with other government agencies at the ports to reduce the incidence of rejection of food exports from Nigeria in some European countries and the United States of America.
She said the deplorable state of export trade facilitation for regulated products leaving the country has continued to be a serious cause for concern for NAFDAC, adding that a trip to NAFDAC export warehouses within the international airport will explain unequivocally the major reason for the continuous rejection of Nigerian exports abroad.
