A Nigerian exporter has shipped 7,000 Metric Tonnes of Cocoa beans from the ECM Terminal at the Calabar Seaport in Cross River State, south-south Nigeria to the United States of America.
The Managing Director of Starlink Global and Ideal Limited, the Nigerian export company, Adeyemi Adeniji, stated that the cocoa beans were sourced from Ikom local government area of Cross River State which constituted a factor in utilizing the Calabar Port.
Direct export
Adeniji who stated that history was being made with the direct shipment of non-oil product from the Calabar seaport to the United States of America said: “in our search for a solution to different dimensional problems facing export in Nigeria, we opened a direct export from Calabar to the United States of America using a chartered vessel.”
“As a proud Nigerian agency, our reserve is to elevate Nigeria’s call the world over by doing all we will to show that we are resilient, resourceful and innovative and forward searching”, he introduced.
Adeniji remarked that though the price of transport at once from the Calabar seaport to the U.S. Turned into higher while in comparison to the Lagos port, “the employer was spending as tons as two hundred,000USD to assure the secure passage of the chartered vessel. We are exporting 7,000 Metric Tonnes of Cocoa.”
He defined that it'd take five days to load almost one million bags of Cocoa into the vessel for you to spend 17 days to arrive the United States of America.
