Nigeria\u2019s quality is the best.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have traded in and tasted palm oil from Ghana, Cameroon and Malaysia. They are no match to Nigeria\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have the sweetest and scented oil with nutrients, much of it from Cross River State, which is why dealers look towards her for supplies. However, palm oil millers should help filter it better. They do not filter it well enough.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked what future he sees in the palm oil business in Nigeria, the merchant said the future of palm oil is big and bright only if the government can help.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dThe amount of palm oil in Nigeria can sustain industries and private demands.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He maintained that the sub-sector can conveniently engage thousands of Nigerians if given due attention.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPalm oil is a value chain business that engages endless streams of people at different stages of its procession. It can gainfully engage many young Nigerians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe appeal to the government to support farmers by creating easy avenues for them to draw credit facilities because capital is really their drawback. Government should not share money to politicians to waste but to farmers who will sustainably and profitably engage people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/nigeria\">Nigeria<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
