The Federal Government, through the Nigeria Agricultural Quarantine Service, on Thursday said it had signed an agreement with its Mexican counterpart to increase the export of hibiscus from Nigeria to Mexico.
 
It said the deal would provide an annual revenue of $3bn to Nigeria.
 
On the deal with Mexico, he said, “Last month, on November 4, to be precise, NAQS and its Mexican counterpart body, SENASICA, signed a phytosanitary protocol to stabilise and grow the export of Nigerian hibiscus flowers (zobo) to Mexico.
 
“The framework is designed to future-proof bilateral trade in hibiscus between Nigeria and the largest importer of Nigerian hibiscus against avoidable disruptions. With the signing of the hibiscus work plan, Nigeria will earn $3bn annually from exporting hibiscus to Mexico.”
