This means Japan produces less than 8 million metric tonnes. No?




BTW, below is 2018 statistic. Which still shows our government must have exaggerated their figure.

I will just leave this statistic here so you know these APC people are shameless liars



China is the world's largest rice producers and they did not even smell 2million metric tonnes and here these bastards are claiming their LAKE rice production to be 15million tonnes!

Incredible

Op, I really pity the kind of life you are living. What you posted is an old news. It has been addressed previously, even on Nairaland
https://www.nairaland.com/3991063/local-rice-production-hits-15m#59515797

The error in the figure was duly acknowledged and everyone has moved on except you and Blue3k that chose to be fixated on a corpse like flies. Know the grave is nearby. I hope you know how the story goes

I was only correcting the millions of tons statement you made not the country. The graph we used are from different sources and of different years so don't expect the same result.

You have not succeeded in making reasonable points order than tantrum throwing. Do I have to know a topic had been created before I created another or you are just feeling embarrassed that your party lies are being exposed almost on daily basis. You should have politely referred me to the other post without any slight diss at me ad Blue3k but no your lot must insult first. Anyway thanks for providing a link and it is the same thing here that happened there - lie busting of APC sophistries

No.You don't need to but when you keep exhuming corpses, it may appear that your senses have taken flight off you. Moreover, your Chief ally here, Blue3k created a thread on rice yesterday and you were furiously masturbating on it with obtuse arguments. So it os not out of place to find out if you are still in tune with reality. More importantly, why are you averse to progress?

yeah u right. D only president whose achievements can only b seen on social media

Local rice production in Nigeria has now reached 15 million metric tonnes annually, the government has claimed.

It said the development means the country will now be saving about N300 billion it used to spend annually on importation of the commodity.

The Director of Agriculture at the Kano office of the Federal Ministry of Agricultural, Muhammad Adamu, made the claim on Tuesday while inaugurating the Rice Millers Association of Nigeria, (RIMAN) in the state.

He said in Kano alone, 1.2 million metric tonnes of rice was produced in 2016.

He said with the significant increase in local productions and the efforts to make the local variety qualitative and more attractive to Nigerians, the country expects to begin exporting rice to West African countries by 2018/2019.

Mr. Adamu said about 34 states in Nigeria are producing rice, with many now producing three times in a year.

He disclosed that investigation carried out by the Federal Government revealed that rice imported to Nigeria are 10-15 years old and and are preserved with chemicals which can cause cancer to consumers.

In his remarks, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Rice Miller’s Association, Peter Dama, said, the association was established to promote local milling of rice that is fresh, healthy and nutritious.

He said the association is willing to collaborate with the Nigeria Customs Service to stem smuggling of expired rice into Nigeria.

Mr. Dama added that the association intended to work closely with regulatory agencies and policymakers to ensure standard in local rice milling.

The Customs officer in charge of rice enforcement, Ado Hassan, warned that Custom officers caught conniving with rice smugglers would have themselves to blame.

He said that in less than one year, the zonal command of the agency confiscated 800,000 bags of rice in Kano and Jigawa states.

He said about 9000 bags of the rice are still in the stores of the agency, adding that most of the rice were being given to internally displaced persons after been certified fit for consumption by the National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control, NAFDAC.

Na Bad Belle Go Kill You. Please see for yourself. It is so shameful that you are using 2015 statistics to compare with 2017. It is obvious already that Rice production has improved significantly in this country. See 2017 statistics for yourself.
