Jointly organised by the Embassy of Nigeria in Brussels | NEPC | COLEAD AGRINFO  |  Amplified by EUNAP

About This Webinar

Doing business with the EU? Then you already know — keeping up with EU agri-food import regulations is a full-time challenge. Pesticide limits change. Sustainability rules tighten. New border controls appear. And a missed update can mean rejected shipments, lost buyers, and missed revenue.

 

That’s exactly why this webinar exists. On 5 March 2026, the Embassy of Nigeria in Brussels, NEPC, and COLEAD’s EU-funded AGRINFO programme are bringing together the sharpest EU policy minds and Nigeria’s top trade officials for a comprehensive briefing on everything Nigerian agri-food exporters need to know about the EU right now. EUNAP is proud to amplify this event to our growing community.

 

What You Will Learn

  • EU food safety rules: pesticide residue MRLs, food contaminants, and upcoming mineral oil hydrocarbon regulations
  • How increased EU border controls are affecting Nigerian shipments — and how to stay compliant
  • The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR): what it means for Nigerian cocoa, timber, and palm oil exporters
  • The Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) and the new EU Packaging Regulation
  • NEPC’s current market access activities and how you can benefit
  • Step-by-step guide to exporting from Nigeria to the EU, direct from NEPC
