Do the math.

One million tonnes is equivalent to 20million 50kg bags of rice.


How is that remotely possible in just one year from one isolated state?
yey!!! seems like u have no idea, of the landmass in the North

I still know for a fact that Kebbi did not produce 20million 50kg bags.

Agric revolution began under GEJ. There was no noise about it.

People went into palm, cassava, plantain, poultry, piggery, cashew and so on. Including yours truly.

By the way, these millions of tons of rice are not in the market so far.

Has anyone seen that rice in PH, Lagos, Benin, Enugu, Jos, Ibadan, Minna and such places?

Price of rice is still going up.

Are we sure this rice is cheaper than imported one?

Considering the amount of work that goes into rice farming & loss to weaver birds & the elements/disease, it is not easy to be that cheap.

Kudos. We need more of it.

Did you say rice stored for years in warehouses in Thailand are of better quality than freshly milled local rice?
Don't mind the illiterate. He does not know that thailand store harvest what they can sell for years. Some bags spend up to 8 years in their silo. Read health excerpts and you'll know thailand rice has little or no nutrient. These local rice is freshly milled and so if it is more expensive.... At least you know you are getting healthier. Educate yourself and stop saying stuffs you have no idea about.

it's really a shame that you can bring up such facts without doing your homework well.
later you'll say buhari is a dullard. you that have certificate can't even read properly. The table you brought said it's in 1000 metric tons per unit. and yet the brilliant you don't even know simple arithmetic. chai. The table said China produces 144,000 × 1000 metric tons. multiply that. Do you know maths at all?

This is a fat lie and obviously another avenue to get govt subsidy to buy non existing rice for storage.

China with larger landmass a with rice as a staple food does not even smell that rubbish you guys are circulating.

Abi una sabi farm rice pass China?

Always search and verify info before you start abusing people. China produces 204 million metric ton of rice.

With a population of 2bn people not starving to death and with rice being the staple food of china coupled with the fact that China has more favorable climate and a much larger land mass than Kebbi , I will take the Chinnese data over those Agric subsidy frauds in Kebbi.

Besides China has been a net exporter of rice for several millennia.


So what we did as soon as I started this job was to scout for investors for rice. We brought in Dominion Farms, the largest American rice farm in Kenya. Today, they are investing $40 million on a 30,000 hectare area with the T.Y Danjuma Group in Taraba state. “In 18 months, that rice farm will produce 15 per cent of all the rice we are importing into Nigeria and will be the largest rice farm in Africa. We have also sent 50 young graduates from Taraba state to Kenya to be trained in commercial rice farming. “We distributed last year, 11,000 metric tonnes of high quality rice seeds before the flood and we had produced about 690,000 metric tonnes of rice paddy in the wet season last year before the flood.

Can you honestly believe Kebbi produced 20million 50kg bags of rice? Because that is what one million tonnes of rice is.
I am not sure how restating or rephrasing what it is will make it less true. That is a bizarre kind of logic. Either ther did or they did not . to tell us it is 20 million 50 kg bags means what.


The correct analysis is

what is the highest yield under best practice PER HECTARE in the world and then how many hectares were cultivated in Kebbi rather than telling how many grains of rice are in 1 million tonnes

Stop searching for straws.

I made an obvious mistake but there is no way they achieved one million tonnes of rice in Kebbi.


I know for a fact that there is a govt buy back fraud in the ministry of agriculture where the FG stocks silos with non existing grains,


That is the reason for this inflated figure.

How can you reconcile the current cost of locally produced rice in the market ?

Or are you not aware how many bags of rice are in a million tonnes?

I do not know what they harvested but the internet helps me find out that farmers can harvest between 2 and 6 tonnes of rice per hectare. They claim to have planted 500000 hectares so their claim is PLAUSIBLE and not far fetched. Isit TRUE. I have no idea but it is not a far fetched claim

My first post on this thread pointed on what one million tonnes translates to in terms of standard 50kg bag sold in the market.

And the math translates to 20million bags.


That was my main argument.

If you like grab on the straws but that will never make this lie fly.

China produces 144,000,000 tones not only to feed 2bn people but to export and they have been doing this for millienas with rice as their staple food.

So for Kebbi to achieve about 1% of that output in one year, which is more than enough to feed Nigeria then that is a big lie!

A million tonnes is equivalent to one billion kilograms which at 50kg a bag of rice equals to 20 million bags of rice.

That equates to 1 bag of 50kg rice for every 8 Nigerians (at 160illion population figure) .

and they achieved all this in less than one year?

Ps whats the price of a bag of rice today ? From simple economics, we know that when the supply is high, the demand is low which in turn affects the price. But what we have today is counterintuitive. That's why I think the government is full lies and propaganda.
