The National Onion Producers, Processors and Marketers Association of Nigeria has lifted its suspension on onion exports from Nigeria to Ghana with immediate effect, following renewed engagements aimed at resolving challenges affecting cross-border trade.
The association, in a public notice signed by its President, Alhaji Aliyu Maitasamu, on Wednesday, said the decision followed consultations with relevant stakeholders, including the Ministries of Trade of Nigeria and Ghana, diplomatic authorities, ECOWAS and other institutions.
NOPPMAN had earlier suspended onion exports to Ghana over unresolved difficulties confronting Nigerian and Nigerien onion traders and exporters in the Ghanaian market.
The challenges reportedly centred on the reception, allocation and offloading of onion consignments at Kotoku Market, as well as concerns over the safety and uninterrupted movement of legitimate cross-border traders.
