Nobody seems to be interested in discussing this good CBN policy simply because the beneficiaries will be from south east and south south. If the policy is directed towards the people of North west and north east, they would have dropped loads of wailing epistles on how Buhari is pursuing Fulani agenda.

nonaira:


It says SS and SE. The two highest producing states are in both region respectively.

katlord:



I weak! North contributes almost nothing to the economy of Nigeria. Reason for the rush to get oil in the north so as to be at par with the rest of the southern Nigeria

martineverest:
I think Edo and ondo are the largest producers

katlord:



Who's referring to consumption of commodities? We're talking of economic viability of regions. While the South is known for oil and gas exploration, the west is known for industrial production including Lagos for it's commercial input, most of the SE is known for their commercial inputs. All these put together generates billions to the fg. The north merely contributes in agric with large mineral resources untapped.

If you follow up discussions during the confab especially economy you'll agree more. The entire North is parasitic economically compared to other regions

Mk12:

Edo and ondo are not the largest now.
Akwa-Ibom, Abia, Rivers, Edo, Imo, Ondo, Bayelsa, Cross River and Delta.

akwa ibom is the highest

martineverest:
mtchewww....NIFOR,okomu and presco in Benin alone produce more oil than most of those states u mentioned

Mk12:

Benin is actually my environment and there are some villages in Delta north that produce more oil than those companies you mentioned. I mean only one village!
just because you are seeing it in bulks there does not mean they produce more

seunmsg:



The north actually contributes more to Nigeria’s economy than the south east.

martineverest:
lol....are u comparing delta with edo.?... edo have more oil palm plantation than any state in Nigeria....the villages in Edo produce more oil than delta villages....even ondo produce more oil than delta.

Mk12:

I am not saying that Delta produce more oil than Edo.
I only said akwa ibom is the highest now.
Akwa ibom, River and Abia produce more oil than any state. oil production in other state were underestimated that is why Edo and ondo use to be the highest
there maybe large palm plantations in Edo but they don't actually produce enough oil in some of those village. sometimes palm fruit are left untaped and left to rot away.

martineverest:
have u been to those villages in Edo.?....dobu even know that many women in Edo village produce palm oil as source of income?

Mk12:

asking me if I have been to those villages? I spent many years in Benin and still have friends and family there . just last week I was in a village under ovia northeast LGA for business purposes. my mum deal on agricultural products then so you can imagine how many villages we traveled to to source for them then. even though she is now in Delta, she still buy enough palm oil for storage every year so she can sell when the price get higher

Astark:
the man is right , Edo state houses the capital of Nigeria rubber and palm oil industries. Malaysia government even came to Benin and took some of the products to their states.

The palm oil in Edo alone is more than akwa ibom, delta, ondo etc combined, Edo is just too blessed with palm oil, before my bro traveled abroad that was his business.

Mk12:

it use to be then when palm oil in other areas were underreported .
you are not in that line of business so you don't know anything about it. some states have are now ahead of Edo. I can sit in my house and begin to tell you where to get palm oil in Nigeria.

martineverest:
u have been to Benin only and u concluded that Edo state doesn't produce oil palm like other states??...Benin only got oil palm companies.most of the oil u see in Benin are from other villages in Edo state.binis produce the least oil palm in Edo state

Astark:
what do you mean by some states are now ahead of Edo?do you know how much palm oil preseco,okomou etc produce daily?

Please don't say that in public

Palm trees grow up in wet rain forests and in savannah, which means that 24 states, mainly in the South east and central zones, produce palm oil. The North central zones produce palm fruits only incidentally. The 9 states situated in the Niger Delta (Figure 4) account for 57% of the national production (PIND, 2011).

The table shows that 25 Statesand the FCT (Abia, Adamawa, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Benue, Cross River, Delta , Eboyin, Edo, Ekiti, Enugu, Imo, Kaduna, Kogi, Kwara, Lagos, Nasarawa, Niger, Ogun, osun, Ondo, Oyo, Rivers, Taraba, Abuja ) cultivated 1,724.23 hectares of land nationwide for oil palm. The largest land area cultivated was 172.82 hectares by Akwa-Ibom State. The least cultivated land areas were FCT 0.78 hectares and Adamawa State 0.80 hectares.

[b]Total production figure for palm oil was 1,331.53 metric tonnes out of which Akwa-Ibom State produced the largest quantity 135.82 metric tonnes.[/b]The least output on oil palm was from the FCT with 0.17 metric tonnes and Adamawa State with 0.20 metric tonnes.
