Planting &amp; Farm Management</strong></p><p>During cultivation, farmers adopt organic and regenerative practices under the AgroGreen Way:</p><p>🌍 Zero Poison Farming – No harmful chemicals or pesticides.<br>🌱 Biochar &amp; Compost Application – Restores soil health and boosts fertility.<br>💧 Precision Application of Foliar Fertilizer – Ensures nutrient efficiency and crop resilience.<br>👩‍🌾 Field Demonstrations &amp; Training – Every cluster sets up demonstration plots to learn and adopt best practices.</p><figure id="figure-h2ifq33p5smeuftybz" class=""><img id="h2ifq33p5smeuftybz" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/2GZr5CSKNTT7GHOzIvYR04nEE6qZ3ZYxRwZZEAKOvrPjxy4wEVRBgCrroz9z9xJR.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/2GZr5CSKNTT7GHOzIvYR04nEE6qZ3ZYxRwZZEAKOvrPjxy4wEVRBgCrroz9z9xJR.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><p><strong>3. Harvest &amp; Post-Harvest Handling</strong></p><p>One of the biggest reasons African farmers lose export opportunities is poor post-harvest handling. AgroGreen bridges that gap by ensuring:</p><p>🌾 <strong>Proper Drying Techniques</strong> – Solar dryers and hygienic handling for crops like ginger, turmeric, and chili.<br>📦 <strong>Grading &amp; Sorting</strong> – Only clean, uniform produce meets export grade.<br>🏷️ <strong>Traceability Tags</strong> – Each batch is labeled to maintain full export compliance.</p><p>The journey doesn’t end at harvest — in fact, it’s just beginning. The way crops are handled, processed, and stored determines whether they will meet export-grade quality.</p><figure id="figure-y53d7fiw6pmeufz4mh"><img id="y53d7fiw6pmeufz4mh" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1975890129/photo/close-up-shot-of-ginger-root.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=yAj6sjokUVAaAjHOS0epml6JEPwmm18Y4TaBfN6uwmQ=" alt="Close up shot of ginger root" title="Close up shot of ginger root" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1975890129/photo/close-up-shot-of-ginger-root.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=yAj6sjokUVAaAjHOS0epml6JEPwmm18Y4TaBfN6uwmQ=" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><p><strong>4. Export Documentation &amp; Compliance</strong></p><p>AgroGreen Dynamics Limited takes charge of the critical paperwork, ensuring every product meets international requirements:</p><p>📑 <strong>NEPC Compliance</strong> – To officially qualify for exports.<br>🪴 <strong>Phytosanitary Certificate</strong> – Proof that produce is pest/disease-free.<br>🌍<strong> Certificate of Origin</strong> – Confirms Nigerian origin for trade incentives.<br>✅ <strong>Organic Certification</strong> – Ensures compliance with global organic standards.</p><p>Any produce that does not meet export grade is redirected to local premium markets to avoid farmer losses.</p><figure id="figure-hnc0iblgjdmeug6xxl"><img id="hnc0iblgjdmeug6xxl" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1932338139/photo/green-law-concept-international-environmental-law-climate-or-environmental-justice-law-on.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=YIE5ZfsTYG5TXWfWgTWkSKSXWczUVhadT5jOMgYL5hg=" alt="Green law concept. international environmental law Climate or environmental justice Law on green forest conservation economy Environmental protection.

Export Standards &amp; Market Access</strong></p><p>With all compliance in place, AgroGreen farmers enjoy direct access to buyers abroad. Example:</p><p>📦 Dried Ginger – A 40-foot container (25 tons) sells for $400,000 CIF at $15,000/ton, showing the massive premium for export-grade produce.</p><p>👉 CIF (Cost, Insurance, Freight) means the seller covers shipping &amp; insurance up to the buyer’s port.</p><p>Other crops under AgroGreen Export Protocol include:</p><p>🌱 Ginger<br>🌱 Cassava<br>🌱 Chili pepper<br>🌱 Sesame<br>🌱 Cocoa<br>🌱 Hibiscus (zobo leaves) and more.&nbsp;</p><figure id="figure-w6xk7zauzfmeugjz5e"><img id="w6xk7zauzfmeugjz5e" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/2187670534/photo/aerial-view-of-business-trip-with-ship-the-partner-connection-container-cargo-freight-ship.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=DisXxmy0amsDrQe2D6ULLvCDBJHneOnUDJ8ZS3KomfE=" alt="Aerial view of Business trip with ship the partner connection Container Cargo freight ship for Import Export" title="Aerial view of Business trip with ship the partner connection Container Cargo freight ship for Import Export" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/2187670534/photo/aerial-view-of-business-trip-with-ship-the-partner-connection-container-cargo-freight-ship.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=DisXxmy0amsDrQe2D6ULLvCDBJHneOnUDJ8ZS3KomfE=" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><p><strong>6.
