QUALITY & COMPLIANCE

Quality you can verify before you pay.

How we approach testing, inspection and export documentation for Nigerian agricultural shipments.

Supplier review

Every supplier registration is reviewed by our team before any introduction. Registering is not verification; we ask for business details, location, commodity and capacity, and follow up before a supplier is presented to a buyer.

Laboratory analysis

For each lot, a Certificate of Analysis from an independent laboratory can be arranged, covering the parameters in the contract such as moisture, purity, oil content, aflatoxin or pesticide residues.

Independent inspection

Buyers may appoint an internationally recognised inspection company to check quality, quantity, packing and loading before shipment. We cooperate fully with the inspector you choose.

EXPORT DOCUMENTS

Documents for a typical shipment.

The exact list depends on the commodity, the supplier and the destination, and is agreed in writing for each deal.

  • Commercial invoice and packing list
  • Bill of lading
  • Certificate of origin
  • Phytosanitary certificate issued by the Nigeria Agricultural Quarantine Service (NAQS)
  • Certificate of analysis from an independent laboratory
  • Fumigation certificate, where required
  • Nigerian export formalities, including the NXP form processed through an authorised dealer bank

DESTINATION MARKETS

Know your market’s rules early.

The European Union, United Kingdom, United States and other markets apply their own limits for pesticide residues, mycotoxins and microbiological contaminants, and their own importer obligations. Please state your destination requirements in your buyer request so that lots can be screened before samples or shipments are arranged.

Certifications.

Certification such as organic, Rainforest Alliance, HACCP or ISO 22000 depends on the individual supplier and processor. We state plainly in each proposal whether certified supply is available, and we do not describe any lot as certified unless the documents can be shown.
