FG begins work on animal identification, traceability to boost export

Nigeria's government has kicked off a project to implement an animal identification and traceability system aimed at enhancing the export of red meat and other animal protein products. This initiative is expected to improve the quality and safety of these products, meeting international standards and boosting Nigeria's position in the global market. The move is crucial for increasing revenue from exports and reducing reliance on imports, which is vital for the nation's economic growth and food security.
