Nicert
Description
Private organization currently providing inspection services and also seeking accreditation to offer certification services to various international standards such as Organic, GlobalG.A.P., ISO 22000, ISO 9001
Market Opportunity/ Problem
Nicert’s research revealed that most Nigerian producers for export are often unaware of the requirements and standards tenable in the highly regulated international markets. Hence, they often lose their investments when such goods are rejected for non-conformity with these international standards, leading to the closure of such enterprises and loss of the natural and potentially lucrative business opportunities offered to Nigerians.
