Nigerian Onion Producers Halt Export to Ghana
The National Onion Producers, Processors, and Marketers Association of Nigeria has announced a suspension of exports to Ghana.
The group at a press conference on Monday cited persistent harassment, intimidation, and unfair treatment in Ghanaian markets.
According to them, their trucks have recently faced confiscation, something they condemned as unacceptable and a clear violation of trade norms.
“We have invested heavily in this business. Seeing our goods seized without justification is heartbreaking. Many of us are now stranded and unsure of what comes next,” the traders lamented.
It intends to enforce the suspension until their grievances are addressed.
“We urge both governments to investigate these incidents and ensure the protection of Nigerian traders. Dialogue must be facilitated to resolve this dispute quickly.”
“We cannot continue to expose our traders to losses and danger. This suspension will remain until there is a clear commitment to restoring a safe and lawful trading environment.”
