Pesticide Registration in Nigeria: NAFDAC and CHICO Support
Pesticides must be registered with NAFDAC before import or sale in Nigeria. CHICO helps importers prepare technical documents, samples, and formulation matching for their registration work.
NAFDAC Regulates Pesticides in Nigeria
In Nigeria, the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) regulates pesticides. You can't import or sell a pesticide unless it's registered with NAFDAC first. The agency keeps a public list of registered products, the NAFDAC Greenbook, at greenbook.nafdac.gov.ng.
If you're an importer or distributor, check that list before you commit to a product. It shows which formulations already have approval in Nigeria. For anything not on the list, you'll need to go through registration before import. CHICO can support that process with the right documents and samples.
How CHICO Supports Your Registration Work
- Technical documents
- We provide the product data you need for a NAFDAC dossier: composition, specification, and formulation details. You'll still need to confirm the exact document list with your local consultant or NAFDAC.
- Samples for testing
- We can prepare samples for lab analysis or field trials. Sample customization is available within 2 to 5 days. Tell us what quantity and form you need.
- Formulation matching
- If you already hold a registration for a similar product, we can match our formulation to your approved specification. This helps you avoid starting from zero.
- Small pack options
- For registration samples or trial shipments, we can do small package customization. You don't have to order a full container just to test the market.

Questions from Agrochemical Importers
How do I check if a product is NAFDAC registered?
Search the NAFDAC Greenbook at greenbook.nafdac.gov.ng. It's the public list of registered pesticides. If the product isn't there, it can't be imported or sold in Nigeria yet.
Can CHICO register products in Nigeria for me?
CHICO is a manufacturer and supplier. We don't act as the registrant. We give you the technical documents and samples you need, but the registration itself has to be done by a local entity in Nigeria.
What if I want a formulation that isn't in your catalog?
We can customize formulations to match an existing registration or a target specification. Send us your requirements and we'll check feasibility with our R&D team.
