Leaked Video: How Fake Rice is Produced then exported to African countries like Nigeria and Kenya

Most if not all producers of long grain rice in China are now resorting to production of the granules from plastic, a new report has revealed.

According to Spy News Agency, the plastic rice is mixed with natural rice for commercial exportation to African countries including Nigeria.

This type of rice was discovered to be largely consumed by Africa which also happens to be the continent with the largest Chinese rice consumption rate.

So far, experts say there is no scientific rice testing method developed yet to detect this artificial rice from the original ones produced at the various points of entry into countries.

Scientists are therefore being called upon all over the world to help avert the cancerous agenda being embarked on by some industry players to cause disease and death on mass scale.

Meanwhile, the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) is to begin checking samples of rice on the market, especially those from China and also to educate importers on the dangers of importing unwholesome food substances into the country.
Kenya has never imported rice from China
Kenya grows 77% of ts rice.What remains is imported from Pakistan and a small amount from Thailand.I have never heard of a case of plastic rice in Kenya
