Discussions covered food safety, product registration and regulation, support for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), pesticides and agrochemicals, post-marketing surveillance, investigation and enforcement, as well as the facilitation of import and export trade.
Particular attention was given to regulatory issues affecting Free Trade Zones and the auctioning of containers delayed at the nation’s ports.

The visit forms part of ongoing engagement between PEBEC and regulatory institutions to identify operational challenges and explore measures that can improve the ease of doing business in Nigeria while maintaining appropriate standards for public health and product safety.
