The Nigerian government has formed a new committee, the Nigerian Agricultural Products and Agricultural Products/Non-Petroleum Export Zero Refusal Inter-Ministerial Technical Committee, to ensure the standardization of the country's agricultural products and prevent rejection by the international community. The committee will be led by the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Sabo Na Nono. The move comes after the recent rejection of Nigerian beans by the European Union. The government is now encouraging all agencies involved in the production and certification of export agricultural products to work together to improve both export and local food security.
