Nigeria a global leader in yam and cassava exports

According to the Nigerian Export Promotion Council, (NEPC) the country is a global leader in the export of seven agricultural products, including yams, cocoa yam, cassava, Melon, Kola nut Sorghum and Shea nut. This was revealed in Lagos by Chief Executive Officer of the Council, Mr. Olusegun Awolowo at a business seminar.

He noted that the feat was achieved because of the Council’s decision to streamline the procedures and documentation of exports.

Awolowo said that the NEPC has also stepped up efforts at encouraging private investors to build export warehouses to serve as one stop shops for non-oil exports, adding that the availability of all relevant inspection and certification agencies under the same roof will also reduce costs.

In his opening remarks, convener of the conference Mr. Ali Shobande said that the move to establish an export terminal at the Lilipond in Apapa was to further reduce the costs of exporters in the course of doing their businesses.
