Nigeria has overtaken Egypt as the largest rice producer in Africa. Nigeria now produces 8 million tonnes out of the Africa average of 14.6 million tonnes of rice annually. Egypt used to produce 4.3 tonnes annually but suffered a decline of almost 40 percent in the last one year.
This is a clear evidence that the President Muhammadu Buhari's rice policy is moving in the right direction.

Local rice might still be expensive now. But when more big players begin processing and production the prices will reduce drastically.. Simple Law of Demand & Supply.

Don't forget more rice mills from Lagos to Kano will ne opening soon. So let's stay positive.

But Op were exactly are they planting this rice ...which States majorly deal on rice production in large/commercial/export purpose?.

And why is the effect not felt among the populace or as well as it's effect in price reduction.

Cos if we have overtook Egypt in rice production, as you claim, then we have to check how much rice is sold in Egypt and compare it here, Cos the excess with which we use in overtaking Egypt must reflect practically in price fall, if not is just a mere theory .

Don't mind them and their audio rice ..ask them where the farms are and they run ..they don't know such rice growth will reflect in fertilizer market , bagco bag market , tractor market and insecticide market ...they think Nigerian are fools

You can't start seeing prices crashing overnight just because Nigeria is the largest producer of Rice in Africa. It takes time for that to happen. Go to the markets and see the number of Nigeria grown rice, you will be amazed. You can't sit in the comfort of your bed and type without facts.
