EU TO LIFT BAN ON BEANS IMPORT FROM NIGERIA

-           There are indications that the ban on exportation of beans to the European Union (EU) countries, imposed on Nigeria by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), will be lifted by June this year.

-          The development came weekend during the visit of an EU/ Dutch team to the Central Laboratory of the National Agency for Food, Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) in Lagos.

-           The EU team was in Nigeria to inspect the procedures of the regulatory agency, to ensure that future export of beans and other agricultural products from the country meet the standards of importing countries.

-          EFSA had in mid-2015 banned some agricultural products, which included beans from Nigeria.
