It's a joke of a country. When they banned 41 items - they only ended up boosting Benin & cameroun - who are smuggling about the same. If you check the rice Benin & Camereoun are importing & re-exporting to Nigeria - then you'll know Nigeria fake rice production cannot even pass the first muster. kikuyu1: 2 Likes |

Nigeria's Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Chief Audu Ogbeh, must by now have understood what it means to fight the rice mafia in Nigeria. For about a week now, he has been in the eye of the storm over comments reportedly credited to him, relating to the fact that seven rice mills had closed shop in Thailand on account of the drop in the importation of rice by Nigeria. Apart from the response of Thailand Ambassador to Nigeria, Wattana Kunwongse, denying remarks that rice mills are collapsing in the Asian country; many people had gone to town, particularly on the social media to castigate the minister for telling lies. This was done rather than viewing the statement credited to the minister in the context that Nigeria is involved in a trade war that dates back many decades. Kunwongse, in a statement, said: "The report is not only misleading but a distortion of the actual conversation between myself and the honourable minister of agriculture at the federal ministry of agriculture and rural development." He narrated how he "praised President Buhari's Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP), the essence of which is the endeavour to move the country to a self-sufficiency and export-oriented economy, and to that worthy cause, Thailand stands ready to work closely with the Nigerian government in the field of technological transfer and agricultural machineries." It seems relevant and necessary to ask how the exporting country hopes to benefit from assisting an importing country in technological transfer and agricultural machineries that will end up stopping the latter from continuing to depend on the former. Some issues raise questions of correlation and causation. What the ambassador did not explain is how his country imported 1,647,387 metric tonnes of rice to Republic of Benin in 2017 alone. Mr Kunwogse also did not mention that Thailand's import of rice to Benin has been steadily on the increase, 805,765MT in 2015, and 1,427,098MT in 2016, while official import from Thailand into Nigeria was steadily declining. Nigeria has an estimated 180 million people while the population of Republic of Benin is about 11 million people. In 2014, 1,239,810MT was imported into Nigeria. It declined to 644,131MT in 2015, and to 58,260MT in 2016, reaching an all-time low of 23,197MT in 2017, and if this trajectory remains on a downward path, Nigeria may not be importing rice by 2020. The flow of rice imported from major Asian origins to Benin for onward shipment to Nigeria is a factor that should not be ignored in the regional rice trade in West Africa. ECOWAS data indicate that over half of the rice Benin imports is sold into the Nigerian market. Port of Cotonou statistics show about 2.4 million metric tons (MMT) of cereals arriving at the port in 2014, over half of which is rice. https://allafrica.com/stories/201803150205.html I know you know this! kikuyu1: 2 Likes |

They import food worth more than 20B dollars - that is A LOT OF FOOD. In their books they can claim their agriculture is as good as Brazil - but in reality it long collapsed. Kenya this year reached 1B dollars food import per annum - so you can say per-capita - they should be doing around 4B dollars - if they had agriculture as good as kenya - but you see they are basically importing everything from milk powder, tomatato paste, rice, sugar, wheat name it.

This Benin traders selling rice to Nigeria are the Nigeria's rice cartel. As for Kenya's importing case,it is well understood that Kenyan farmers have taken over farms in our neigbouring East African countries.These farmers then sell it to Kenya when there is a deficit. Those onions/tomatoes we bought from Tanzania or Uganda might be well from a Kenyan farmer or a firm associated with a Kenyan in one way or another.This is a strategy we can use to prop up our acreage in arable land.You must be oportunistic and smart to survive.I know they are making it hard for Kenyans to own land in their market(TZ) but we are beating them still. Apart from Langat the LARGEST Tea Estate Owner in TZ,there are many Kenyan enterprises using TZ's slowness to beat them.Magufuli never lied when he said that there are close to 500 Kenyan firms in TZ! Below is an intresting excerpt from https://www.nation.co.ke/news/Tanzanian-farmers-reap-big-in-Nairobi/1056-5162596-9e1odw/index.html ''The Arusha hotelier singled out onions among the leading commodities consistently exported to Kenya because, unlike maize, they are not affected by drought. “Our onions are preferred by Kenyan traders, who pack them in Nairobi and export overseas,” he said. Most of the onions are grown in the remote irrigated fields of Mang’ola, about 200 kilometres west of Arusha. Due to the high demand and reliable market overseas, Kenyans have virtually taken over the farms through contract farming. Under the arrangement, Kenyan investors hire farmers to grow onions and even supply inputs such as fertiliser.'' 3 Likes |

Definitely pass The carnivore - it's near the park - if you're a meat lover. If you're interested in universities - try Strathmore, USIU & KU. For great craft beer - Sierra along Ngong road is good. Shopping in any of big malls - would do - highly recommend Village Market or Hub or even two Rivers or Garden City. Definitely drop in any Nairobi night clubs around CBD or Hurlingham or Westlands. Also definitely try Nyama Choma+Ugali in any good joints in Nairobi. But river road is not very safe....so be careful at night time. ntyce: 1 Like |

Mkenya2019:These hot tears of yours do not erase the fact that Nigeria is Africa's biggest producer of rice.You may kill yourself over that and we won't care. Let me add to your pain. Total import of parboiled rice by Benin, Cameroon and Togo is around 3 million tonnes. (see attached table below).I am even being generous with figures to suit and help you. Let's assume all of this is planned to be exported to Nigeria. Now,some of this rice would not even get to Nigeria due to custom's disturbances. Some would be impounded. Let's assume 90%gets to Nigeria, that's 2.7million metric tonnes. Nigeria rice consumption is 7million metric tonnes. 7m minus 2.7m gives you 4.3million metric tonnes. Egypt, Africa's second biggest producer of rice produces less than that. That still leaves Nigeria as Africa's biggest producer of rice no matter how you turn and cry,boy. And next time leave Brazil out of your stupid list of rice exporters if you don't want to keep sounding stupid. 2 Likes 1 Share

Look at this image. 4 against 1. And that player on the ground looks funny. Like he wants to take a shyte. Did he think he was in Kibera? 3 Likes
