The Executive Director of the council, Mr. Ezra Yakusak made the call during A seminar at the ongoing 44th Kaduna International Trade Fair.

The seminar organised by the Kaduna Chamber of Commerce, Industry , Mines and Agriculture (KADCCIMA) had the theme “Promoting value addition for sustainable growth and development”.

He said there was need for MSMEs to add value to their product in order to compete with other products around the world when exported while gaining more foreign exchange.

” The importance of value addition in products can not be overemphasized; Global value chain are increasingly buyer- driven and are determined by value chain specific quality attributes.

“This include embedded quality information, globally accepted standard and codification and certificate; with this, products tend to attract more premium pricing “, he said.

The executive director who was represented by Mr.Samuel Abolaji stated that NEPC was assisting MSME in terms of certification while providing expert to monitor production processes and advise accordingly.

He added that food products like yam, cassava, plantain, fish, honey ,vegetables among others would have more value when processed and packaged well for export.

Similarly, the former president, Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) Engr. Mansur Ahmed stated that value addition attracts high sales and creates wealth.

He explained that there was need for Nigeria to scale up trade by scaling production and adding value to production urging government to scale up policies that supports value addition.

Speaking earlier, the President of KADCCIMA Alhaji Suleiman Aliyu noted that despite the abundance of solid minerals, agricultural commodities and other raw materials, Nigeria continues to lose billions of dollars.

According to him, the lose was due to lack of value addition, handling culture in production and export process and focusing more on instant profits received from exporting raw materials.

” it is important for local manufacturers to incorporate significant value addition into their production and export process in order to substantially impact the economy, improve FOREX earning and reduce reliance on oil”, he said.
