The Nigerian Institute of Food Science and Technology (NIFST), has identified non-compliance with global food standards, poor packaging and poor adherence to food safety as part of the major reasons food exports from Nigeria are rejected at the International market.
NIFST which stated this at a press conference at the Michael Okpara University of Agriculture Umudike on Tuesday, also identified poor funding funding as a major challenge to Nigeria’s food export quest.
He further noted that poor branding of foods by exporters usually affect their marketability and competitiveness at the global market. He restated the preparedness of NISFT ” to harness the abundance of talent, knowledge and skills among food professionals in Nigeria towards foods sufficiency and good nutrition of the masses”.
