Floods Washed Away More Than 25% Of Nigeria’s Rice Harvest by Blue3k(m): 12:06am On Sep 08, 2020 |
Floods washed away at least two million tons of rice in Nigeria, the second-largest importer of the grain. That is more than 25% of the previously projected national output of 8 million tons, according to estimates by a farmers’ organization.

Lol 2020 is an interesting year, 1/4 of rice production is washed away. These little events along with news of Nigeria importing grain put Nigeria's Argo sufficiency into question. I think its safe to say the agriculturual policies have failed and the government should admit like they did the subsidies. 30 Likes |

FG wants to use floods as a cover for its ungrounded assertion that Nigeria is now self sufficient in rice production leading to closure of the border and ban on rice importation. The reality is that many of these farmers in the North collected a lot of money from CBN under the Anchor Borrowers Scheme for Rice production and over here in the North many don't like repaying Govt loans as it is seen as share of the national cake for all, it means the farmers can now declare Force Majeure (Act of God beyond human control) and the loans will be classified as 'bad debt' 58 Likes 4 Shares |
