Speaking on the Export Academy as a value adding institute with journalists, the Business and Research Development Manager of Palmadex, Nnenne Azubuike, describes Palmadex as primarily an export company, where newbies from different walks of life and careers are trained to be professional exporters.
“It was flagged off in the year 2018, and operations started in 2019. Lots of benefits in this present day and age where people talk side hustle and income. Well we see it as additional source of revenue. Everybody needs it, civil servants and even the president of this country. Yes, people need multiple streams of income and it’s one of the major advantage.”
Some persons are in business already but they need international exposure, especially those in Agricultural sector. Most Agro commodities including Sesame seeds, Soya beans, Stone Flower, Peanuts, Palm Oil, Palm Kernel Shell, Cassava products, Sorghum, spices like Peppersoup, Banga and different processed Flours like yam and plantain, even the fruits can be exported actually. Attending the training gives exposure in terms of knowledge, and hands-on practical experience.

And key benefits include learning how to identify and overcome competition, understanding international negotiations, building global relationships, better trade practices and earning in foreign currencies to grow the national GDP.
The Operations Manager, Dr. Patrick Omoyeni, highly and globally ranked export business expert and gold medalist of the prestigious Kwame Nkruma Award for Transformational Leadership, also emphasizes on how highly ranked Palmadex Group including the export training/academy is, describing it as a world class export training facility.
“We are the benchmark to export trading in Nigeria, and actually highly ranked, because of our world class export training facility, which has earned us our motto of benchmark of qualitative export training facility in Nigeria. We provide executive training, best curriculum, hands-on training, that lets you determine what and when you want your training to be done.”
“We have won the Best Agricultural Product export company of the year by the Nigeria Export Summit. And also won the best export trading institute of the year 2019

A remarkable testimony is that of Bisola Ebhonu (ACA), the company’s accountant who describes her Palmadex experience as “moving out of your normal business, career territory, along with customer relationship outside your normal business mode”.
“Coming to this organization, I’ve come to learn more about export, with customers relationship. I’ve come to know a lot about customers and how they transact on foreign terms, with customers abroad.
Come for training, leverage contacts, you cannot do this without knowledge. So get adequate knowledge, venture into export business. And see how the financial aspects of your life changes for good. For you, your children and everybody around you.
