It was revealed during the launch of Agrochemical Safety Ambassadors in Yola, the Adamawa State capital that Agricultural stakeholders have lamented over high rejection of locally produced food crops at the international market due to high residues of agrochemical substances.

The launch was an initiative of Feed the Future Nigeria Rural Resilience Activity, and jointly implemented by Mercy Corps and Save the Children. The Agro-Safety Ambassadors which was inaugurated as the first level of awareness in addressing Nigeria’s agro-food rejection challenges and in its pilot scheme, is expected to reach about 500,000 farmers in the four states of Adamawa, Gombe, Borno and Yobe.

The National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC) lamented the rejection of Nigerian products by the United States and the European Union.

NAFDAC noted that, Nigeria’s products meant for the export market are faced with the presence of contaminants such as pesticide residues and other impurities; exceeding maximum permitted level and some with inadequate packaging and labelling which had caused a lot of products’ rejections in the global market.

The Acting Deputy Chief of Party, Feed the Future Initiative, Mr. Raymond Abogonye, noted that the United States government’s concerns for safety of the food being imported through their borders.

He also added that the United States of America and its European allies have food safety standards that must be strictly adhered to from production to storage particularly in the application and use of agrochemicals.
