An agro-exporter Kenneth Obiajulu has called for more investment in the ginger production value chain, as the country ranks 3rd in global production of the commodity.
Obiajulu, the Chief Executive Officer of AgroCorp International Development Limited, made the assertion at a virtual press launch of the company in Lagos.
The agro-prenuer noted that it was time to make Nigeria earn her place in the global export market of ginger, as he called for more investment in the sector.
Obiajulu, however, highlighted the potentials of the ginger as well as some bottlenecks on its exports.
He also called for strict adherence to international best practices in the production, processing and packaging of the produce in order to gain international relevance.
The expert noted that owing to increased demand for Nigerian ginger and trusted spices, there is the potential of doing more, if we want to truly be a Pan-African business giant.
