For small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the food sector, this partnership presents opportunities to align with global best practices, access training on safety compliance, and improve product marketability both locally and internationally.
By raising industry standards, the collaboration is expected to boost consumer trust, reduce foodborne risks, and support SMEs in meeting export requirements.
NAFDAC and WFP reaffirmed their commitment to working closely with local producers, processors, and distributors to achieve sustainable improvements in Nigeria's food value chain.
