Just want to know the agricultural capapability of ebony , especially if mechanized agriculture is applied ,can ebonyi produce 1 million bags of rice In a single planting season?

Ebonyi state is the only state in the south east with fertile land to farm rice and their government has invested so much in the Agricultural sector but unfortunately... They don't have enough land to feed the whole state.

They still depend on northern rice to survive... Ebonyi rice is very expensive and very low in quality to compare to northern rice.

That's why even within Ebonyi... They rush Arewa rice.

When it comes to Agriculture... Leave it for the north

Delusions of ethnic and regional importance!

How about you take your 'abundance of high quality rice' and fuc/k off to form your own Arewa Republic? Leave us to starve! No wahala....we don't mind!

1m bags of rice is just 50000 tons, ebonyi state installed capacity should be more than that.....

Yes,easily.

stop living in media propaganda... Ebonyi don't have that capacity.

I have a uncle that Is into rice business. He send trailers of rice down east. He do send down trailers of rice to Ebonyi

The whole of SE is 29km².

Let's assume the land is equally shared among the 5 states (which is not the case), Ebonyi will be less than 6km². Is it from this small land you want them to allocate some for Agriculture?

You actually think a country has to have huge land mass to be self-sufficient in agriculture! I've got one word to dispel your erroneous notion: ISRAEL!

stop deceiving yourself man.

Do you know how expensive land is in the east??

Do you know how many millions it cost to get a hectare of land in the east??

I knew all these when we were there to establish an agro deport in enugu.

The east need land... That's why east have been killing each other over 3 hectare of land

Says a tribal bigot and internet warlord

OP you won't get the correct information with the way your head and thread have been spinned by internet trolls and bigots.

Ask the visitor who's been to ebonyi state to mention 7 streets in Ebonyi state and he would faulter. Meanwhile, I am from there and can categorically tell you ebonyi state is capable of producing that capacity. They've got low population index to land mass and a large array of fertile swampy land suitable for agriculture in the south, north, and central senatorial zones of the state. There's hardly a local government you'll go to in Ebonyi where you don't see some scattered swamps cultivated for rice.


Below is Governor Umahi stating Ebonyi harvets 190,000 tones of rice every year. And the news was released way back as 2016; 4years ago. That is a whooping 150million kilograms of rice. Now how many kilograms is a bag of rice? Do you see the amazing magic? I'm sure the capacity has increased about now because Ebonyi has several rice mills and clusters.

By 'east' i take it you mean south-east and not Alaigbo? Both the east and Alaigbo have excess land for agriculture than we know what to do with! States like Ebonyi, Imo and Abia have vast tracts of unused land! Land isn't our problem but knowing how to put it to use effectively!

Way back in 2016 Governor Umahi brandished that Ebonyi harvests 150,000 tonnes of rice every year. The CBN Governor, Governor of Kebbi state were all at the occasion, and this is no cheap talks cause I sabi my state

Oga, no one is forcing you to leave your village for the north or south west. Staying back in your town is the first step.

You can't be scattered all over Nigeria and be making noise that one Nigeria holds you.

As for me, if I have the opportunity, all these would have been history.

That guy is a phantom hater of Igbo people and a popular bigot on this platform. Leave him man, he only intends to de-market the Igbo and praise his boko-ravished Arewanistan.
