Exporting dry seeds and food staples—such as Egusi (melon seeds), Ogbono (wild mango seeds), and sesame seeds—to international diaspora markets requires strict post-harvest drying and packaging protocols. Preventing mold formation and aflatoxin contamination is crucial for passing destination agricultural inspections.
1. Aflatoxins & International Food Safety Thresholds
Aflatoxins are toxic metabolites produced by fungi (Aspergillus species) on agricultural crops stored in humid environments. Importing authorities in Dubai (UAE), Qatar, and Europe enforce strict maximum residue limits (often below 4 to 10 parts per billion).
2. Hermetic Packaging & Oxygen Absorber Techniques
- Hermetic Sealing: Storing dried seeds inside multi-layer gas-tight hermetic bags prevents ambient moisture absorption during transit.
- Food-Grade Oxygen Absorbers: Placing food-safe oxygen absorber sachets inside vacuum-sealed pouches eliminates residual oxygen, preventing fungal growth and insect infestation.
3. Safe Transit via Haulam Value Export
