Inconsistent quality is one of the biggest hurdles for Nigerian exporters. Issues like pesticide residue or contamination shouldn't stand in the way of farmers’ hard work reaching international markets. At ITC, we believe Nigerian cowpea and sesame have massive global potential. That’s why we’ve been training exporters and regulators to master WTO’s rules on food safety and animal & plant health (Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures). What does this mean for the farmers? ✅ Fewer rejected shipments. ✅ Stronger trust with international buyers. ✅ A smoother path to scaling globally. We're helping turn "rejected" into "requested." This initiative is funded by the Standards and Trade Development Facility of the World Trade Organization. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3QwQdoa
