But why are we rushing to export when our local markets are not yet saturated?

Because our currency is under valued

I am not interested and I dislike hypocrites and pretenders so Naff off!!

Your mother is ill-bred,bastard!!

God bless Nigeria, bless the our able Buhari and all citizens of Nigeria. Weeping and suffering may endure for the night. I can see the approaching of morning

Olakunle007:
This is great! But I think we should keep the sales to only Nigeria for the main time. We don't have enough, why selling out?

I wonder.

Kudos to the governor of Kebbi State and congrats to the people of Kebbi State for increasing rice production to conquer recession. Meanwhile, Okorocha is busy wasting and squandering Imo State's little resources. Can you imagine a governor paying N600,000,000.00 to his blood sister every year for Christmas decorations, while he is cutting workers salaries and pensions to 40% on the false claim that there is no money in the state. Meanwhile he is not making effort to build the state economy by building things that will generate the needed fund. The only way he knows to make money is to make it from his citizens by either cutting their salaries and pensions, or imposing unwarranted levies on them, or turning every state agencies like OCDA, ENTRACO Etc into touting to be harassing people, abusing them and fleecing them of their monies. Imo state has Moribund companies like IMO Standard Shoes Company, Avutu Poultry, Amaraku Power Station. Yet he could not revamp any, let alone building a new one. He is rather erecting structures without any equipment or commercial/government activities in them, while his counterparts in other states are busy producing and exporting agric products in good commercial quantities and others are making effort to generate electricity to compliment and boost production in their states, and others are building world class medical centers to attract medical tourism. All in the bid to conquer recession. Dumb governors who can't engage in useful critical thought are not needed in Nigeria at this time.

What's the rational behind selling rice outside Nigeria were as we don't have enough in circulation?

Good news and wailing wailers won't like this, Diversification of PMB is yielding results already..

Jafar1:
what about our lake rice

Lake rice = lagos-kebbi rice

When our importers re jostling to import rice yet we re hearing news of foreigners besiegin our markets to export our local rice. Am I the only seeing a disconnection somewhere?

omowolewa:
They should buy in dollars abeg.

Yeah, I hope our farmers will be sensitize on the need to sell the rice in Dollars to foreigners.

juman:
The kebbi rice predated this apc government.

Because I can remember that in 2015 the rice farmers in kebbi harvested 800000 tonnes of rice, as reported.

But when the economy entered recession due to years of bad management. It was solely buhari's fault shey?.. You people shaa

omonnakoda:
The rice revolution started with GEJ which I am no fan of.Still the truth must be told ,Adeshina deserves a lot of credit for what we are seeing today. The previous government took a strategic decision and set targets with dates which are still accessible on the internet.They invested in mills and so on and Dangote's involvement started in that government

Stfu u shameless hypocrite

progress69:


Stfu u shameless hypocrite

Your mother will STFU permanently.She will not witness the new year ,Bastard!!

This is good news. But Nigerians too like rice abeg. Every small thing rice, rice, rice. Atleast switch to potatoe, cocoyam, garden egg etc. to reduce the pressure on rice naa.

He is now the president. He is responsible to make things work well.

This is good news. But to b honest, the glory should not be shared with with past administration.

Yes, GEJ commissioned mills, Adesina gave out rice seedlings blablabla. Abeg make una spare us the details. If they were half as determined and serious about rice as this present administration, we would have stopped importing 'about to expire rice from Brazil and thailand'. Moreso, rice takes about 4 months to harvest. So why should you think GEJ's administration must be applauded?

How do you even think these farmers would be able to compete with cheap imported rice that flooded the country? Do you even know that this rice initiative dates back to obasanjo's regime? Abi you have not heard of fadama projects? Fadama project eventually approved in 2008 by world Bank during Yar adua's time.

I hope our Naija rice hits the markets nationwide soon. My prayer is that this recorded progress will be replicated in other areas that need urgent attention.
