CUSTOMS DUTY ON IMPORT OF MAIZE GRAIN EXEMPTED

The Federal Government has exempted 10% customs duty on maize grain imported by poultry sector by issuing SRO 215 dated 05-03-2008 amending SRO 567(I)/2006 dated 05-06-2006. This measure has been taken to mitigate difficulties being faced by the poultry industry in meeting its demand of maize because of short supply and higher price in the domestic market. It will also help reduce the practice of replacing maize with wheat in the poultry feed which will in-turn ease out pressure on the wheat supply in the country.
