Sad thing is with all these so called "local production" there'll be those whose aim is just to hoard and keep profiting from high prices.

The Govt is working Agriculturally.. They should put in more efforts in other sectors . At least multitudes will get job through the rice mills that have been under construction

How many of this rice mills do we have in other geopolitical zones? Especially the ones funded by government.

In a time like this when the price of white rice has gone up due to some government policies, more people are going back to the country's indigenous rice, popularly known as ofada rice. Unlike white rice which is imported into the country, ofada rice is grown here. Ofada rice is brown rice.

The growing demand for ofada rice is indeed growing and this still opens up a channel of investment and profit for investors considering the number of people both home and abroad that consume it. This is no doubt a good source of income and a profitable business.

Ofada rice is very healthy, in fact, much healthier than white rice. And unlike white rice, it is unpolished, has no genetic modification and is cultivated without chemicals so it retains most of its natural vitamins and minerals. It has about twice the fiber content of regular white rice. Fiber plays a significant role in our digestion process. Ofada rice is also known for swelling in size when cooked.

Apart from its nutritional benefits, ofada rice is known to be regarded as a sign of status prestige by some people and it is typically tastier compared to white rice. The ofada rice meal is served in a unique way that distinguishes it from other rice served at parties such as jollof rice, white rice and stew, or fried rice.

Paparazzi.... Border closure is a very wrong and retrogressive policy.

The high price of a bag of local rice which is of very low quality is a testament to that fact.

A lot of the local rice are of very good quality. What people don't know is that most of the so called imported rice are local rice repackaged with foreign labels!

When there is a glut in the market place. Millers are just asking advantage of the the situation and riding the wave of border closure.

In Calabar there is a 50kg for 13k.. You have to take care of the chaff and some sands not stones but the nutrient is top shelf then there is another for 18k stone and chaff free
