  • CONFORMITY ASSESSMENT AND CERTIFICATION OPENS

UP MARKET SPACE

  • International markets set standards to protect consumers

and to enforce integrity of the products.

TO CONFIRM CONFORMITY WITH CERTAIN SET STANDARDS.

  • Any entity conducting a business for which a standard

exists may ask to have its products or services certified by a certification body, such as NICERT-Ecocert.

  • THESE STANDARDS CAN BE QUALITY OR ETHICAL

STANDARDS

  • SUCH CERTIFICATION IS USUALLY PRECEEDED BY A PROCESS

OF CONSULTANCY (TO SET UP THE NECESSARY QMP & QMS THAT GUARANTEE CONSISTENT ONFORMITY WITH THOSE STANDARDS) AND ASSESSMENT BY INSPECTORS/AUDITORS.

during which the certifying body carries out monitoring.

PRICES IN THE MARKET

From the 2017 reports on ginger In the international market, a tonne of ginger generated between $6,000 and $7,000 dollars. In Nigeria however, a tonne stood at $3,500. Ginger has gained a permanent place in many kitchens, thus boosting the demand. For the Nigerian exporters, transport is a challenge. Moreover, the country’s production is not well known

  • r

recognized (www.freshplaza.com/170078/OVERVIEW-GLOBAL-GINGER-MARKET). This is attributable to its not conforming with the required standard and certification.

RECOMMENDATION

ENCOURAGE PRODUCTION AND PROCESSING OF EXPORT CROPS IN ACCORDANCE WITH STANDARDS IN THE LUCRATIVE FORMAL MARKETS BY MAKING CONFORMITY ASSESSMENT AND CERTIFICATION FOR THOSE STANDARDS AVAILABLE TO PROCESSORS. “With the globalization of production, and supply and retailer chains, ensuring the safety and quality of products is vital. Recent health concerns arising from bovine diseases, bird flu and various toxins entering the food chain have led to stringent standards and conformity procedures, particularly in the area of agro-food exports. Exporting countries must acquire the capability to conform to requirements in terms of quality, safety, health and the environment if they are to participate fully in global markets.” ITC QUARTERLY MAGAZINE “Challenges in agri-food exports”

  • COMPLIANCE SERVICES ARE NOW MORE AFFORDABLE AND

ACCESSIBLE THAN BEFORE BECAUSE OF THE NICERT ECOCERT PARTNERSHIP .
