The head of NAFDAC said this Tuesday while speaking on measures taken to improve the country's agricultural product exports.
“But within the country, the storage facility is very poor for Micro-small businesses, and that NAFDAC food survey years back reveals that; there is mould in a lot of our food crops in the country,” she said.
Mould is a soft grey, green, or blue substance that sometimes forms in spots on old food or on damp walls or clothes.Mrs Adeyeye stated that part of what the agency is doing currently is to amplify sensitization on the need for exporters to ensure that their commodities are duly tested by NAFDAC before exporting them.
The regulator’s boss explained that while they are being prudent by saving more money to enhance the purchasing of efficient testing equipment, the government is also supporting them with some money in this regard. She appealed to all commodity exporters to visit the agency in order to get their products certified before exporting and that they’re no “fees” attached for doing so.“I am pleading to the whole country, exporters, and MSMEs who want to export to please come to NAFDAC to make sure your products have quality. If it doesn’t, we will advise you on what to do and we won’t get a penny for all these,” she said.
