The Osun State Committee on Export Promotion (SCEP) discussed ways to broaden the state’s export base.

A proposal for an export desk in the commerce ministry was also raised.
An RMRDC representative stressed local processing, quality, packaging and standards compliance. A Bank of Agriculture (BOA) representative presented programmes for mechanisation, guaranteed minimum prices and smallholder support. Eligible processors may apply for financing subject to each programme’s conditions; the meeting reported no loan approval or disbursement.
