AGOA VS SAARC
Thank you so much for all your sharing, experiences, and knowledge; all are priceless. We are grateful to you for this.
The knowledge and the operational framework of AGOA is not known by many. I don't think Nigeria has optimized the existence of the act. Farmers, agro allied processing units, and SME's lack the requisite information that would facilitate participation, considering the immense benefits. One of the critical aspects on the operationalization is the one that relates to standards. I understand the USAID has done so much as regards the creation of awareness and the facilitation of training, however the institutional gaps like unavailability of product test centres that ensures quality for the acceptance of processed products is a gap that needs closure. One of the other setbacks is the ease of doing business as relates to exportation of goods from within.
