Shawnnn01: Kano-based Amarava Rice Mill says it is targeting to record 500 tonnes of daily production by June, just as it hits 250 tonnes to boost local self-sufficiency. Mr Subhash Chand, the Indian Deputy High Commissioner in Nigeria, made this known to newsmen on Tuesday in Abuja
NAN recalls that the multimillion Naira state-of-the-art rice mill, owned by an Indian national, was inaugurated by President Muhammadu Buhari in Kano in December 2019. The diplomat gave the assurance that the production capacity of the mill was being expanded to hit 500 tonnes by June.
He added that the investment was part of the overall efforts of the High Commission to help Nigeria attain self-sufficiency in rice production. Chand said that India was supportive of Nigeria’s efforts to fully localise rice production, disclosing that many Indian companies were already among the leading millers in Nigeria.
He disclosed that the mill was built with machineries fabricated in Nigeria with local contents by Indian and Nigerian technological experts. “India has been maintaining good relationship with Nigeria and will continue to do so. “Through Nigeria-India’s cordial relationship, Indian investors are already investing in Nigeria to achieve self-sufficiency in rice production,’’ he said.
Chand noted that technical partnership was another area of mutual benefits to the two nations. NAN reports that in 2017, Nigeria’s rice consumption stood at 7.9 million tonnes while the production rate has increased to 5.8 tonnes per annum from previous 5.5 million tonnes due to Federal Government’s local rice production policy.
The Rice Farmers Association of Nigeria (RIFAN) attributed the increase to the CBN’s Anchor Borrowers Programme with a total of 12 million rice producers and four million hectares of FADAMA rice land cultivated.
NAN reports that Amarava Agro Processors Limited, a subsidiary of Fullmark Group was established at Amarawa Village, Gezawa Local Government Area of Kano State, with an initial 288 metric tonnes daily capacity. NAN recalls that Buhari said at the inauguration that Nigeria’s continued dependence on rice importation had put a strain on the economy as well as the nation’s food flow. Buhari added that a substantial amount of the nation’s foreign exchange went into rice importation yearly, noting the mill will help Nigeria to progress towards food self-sufficiency.
NAN reports that the bilateral trade between Nigeria and India between 2017 and 2018 was touching $12 billion (about N4.3 trillion), which can be expanded by both countries.

Re: Nigeria Rice Mill Hits 250 Tonnes Daily Production by Khanben: 3:36pm On Jan 01, 2019 |
This is a welcome development, but for those waiting for this to affect existing prices SORRY. Nigeria imports about 2.6 million tonnes of rice yearly for the last three years. This company is just producing 150000 tonnes in a year (again thumbs up to them). But for nigerians to feel the effect on price then we need at least 20 rice mills with 500+ tonnes daily capacity. So for the big picture we still have a long long way to go till domestic rice autonomy.
PS: All this is assuming the data presented is actually correct. |

Despite The Increase In Production, Did It Bring Down The Price Of Local Rice? Foreign Rice Was #8500 In 2015, Then Local Was Between #6500 And #7500. Until Local Rice Goes For #10,000 Per Bag, All Na Trash. |

Lazy Nigerians. Our greedy business elites can't even run an ordinary rice mill. An Indian national had to come down thousands of miles to risk his money in a country filled with lazy, complacent and unproductive people, and a "criminal political class. |

Kano state takes the biggest share of federal allocation by virtue of having more local government council more than Bayelsa state that has only 8 local government council and is contributing funds to federal treasury. The way Kano state is oppressing crude oil producing niger delta region the same way Kano state is oppressing vat contributing state like Lagos state. Lagos state is generating revenue from vat from alcoholic beverages through brewery companies. These allocation is shared among states in Nigeria. However, Kano state outlawed the selling and consumption of alcoholic drinks especially among its Muslims indigene or population. A regulating structures called the Hisbah corp was set up to punish offenders. But the biggest question that prickle our mindset is why Kano state must continue to receive alcoholic consumption tax money when they are at the same time the one that is fighting the brewery industry by using the Hisbah corp to raid beer supplying trucks and destroy bottles of beer. 1 Like |
