Speaking with LEADERSHIP,  Mrs Iyabode Alalade who is into exporting business explained that crayfish are a highly sought-after seafood commodity and the export of this product has witnessed a significant increase in recent years.

Nigeria is well-known for its abundant crayfish resources, making it a key exporter of this product to many countries around the world.

According to her, special care is, however, needed to preserve crayfish to avoid spoiling and from foul odus which can come out from crayfish that is not properlly dried. A person may embark on exportation of raw crayfish or smoked crayfish.

“Would-be investor into crayfish export should be able to study where he or she can get large quantity of crayfish. One beautiful thing of this is that he/she buy crayfish from the domestic market on wholesale basis with local currency (Naira) and resells in dollars in the international market,” she said.

In the same vein, Mr Akin Alamo who is into export business, said:”crayfish needs special handling to make it exportable.

“There is need for good drier to dry the crayfish before exporting. There is need to have good packaging of the product to make it attractive to buyers.”

Besides, he said, “there is need to apply to National Agency for Food, Drug Administration & Control(NAFDAC) for certification of crayfish for export and Food and Drug Administration(FDA) for one to get clearance for export of crayfish into USA where there are many Nigerians in need of this product.

“As NAFDAC  and FDA’s export certification provides the official attestation concerning a product’s regulatory or marketing status, based on available information at the time.

“Investor going into crayfish export will need NAFDAC and FDA to get certificate (including, as appropriate, attestations provided by the person seeking the certificate). The fact that NAFDAC or FDA issued an export certificate does not preclude FDA from taking appropriate regulatory action against a product covered by the certificate.”
