Global demand for Nigerian agricultural exports has surged in recent years, with products like hibiscus flower and dried orange peel gaining prominence in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. However, procurement buyers know that quality assurance and certification are critical when sourcing from international suppliers.

At Winning Investments Limited, we prioritize compliance with both Nigerian and international export standards to give our buyers confidence in every shipment.

Why Certifications Matter in Agricultural Procurement

International buyers must meet strict import regulations in their respective markets. Failure to comply with these requirements can lead to shipment rejection, financial losses, and supply chain disruptions. Certifications provide assurance that products are:

• Safe for human consumption
  
• Free from harmful contaminants
  
• Processed, packaged, and transported under hygienic conditions
  
• Aligned with global trade regulations
  

This is particularly important for bulk hibiscus flower exports and dried orange peel procurement, where consistency and safety define buyer trust.

Key Certifications for Nigerian Agricultural Exports

1. NEPC Certification (Nigerian Export Promotion Council)
   Every agricultural exporter must be registered and certified by the NEPC. As an NEPC-certified exporter, Winning Investments Limited meets Nigeria’s official export requirements, ensuring credibility and reliability for buyers.
   
2. Phytosanitary Certificate
   Issued by Nigeria’s Quarantine Service, this certificate confirms that agricultural products are free from pests and diseases. Essential for hibiscus flower exports, it assures international buyers of safe and clean products.
   
3. Standard Organization of Nigeria (SONCAP)
   For products requiring conformity, SONCAP ensures items meet global safety and quality standards.
   
4. Certificates of Origin
   Verifies the Nigerian source of the export, which can be important for tariff reductions under trade agreements.
   
5. ISO and HACCP (When Applicable)
   For food safety and handling, many buyers request ISO or HACCP compliance to ensure best practices in processing and packaging.
