FG, FAO Commend SON for Root, Tuber Flour Standards Global Approval

The Standard Organisation of Nigeria (SON) has received commendation from the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investments, Dr. Jumoke Oduwole, for securing global approval for its Root and Tuber Flour Standards. This significant achievement was also recognized by critical stakeholders, including the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO).

Dr. Oduwole highlighted SON's efforts in developing and implementing standards that meet international requirements. The approval of these standards is expected to enhance the quality and marketability of Nigerian root and tuber flour products, potentially boosting exports and strengthening the agricultural sector.

The involvement of the FAO in acknowledging SON's work underscores the global significance of this development. It suggests that Nigeria is aligning its product standards with international best practices, which can facilitate trade and improve consumer confidence both domestically and abroad. This success reflects positively on Nigeria's commitment to quality assurance in its food industry.
