Of course. Local production is insufficient to meet up with demands. And it is more expensive than it should be. Insecurity in states like Kebbi and co is also reducing local rice production. 6 Likes 1 Share |

..and it's never enough ,we need to smuggle in more.. Local production is not enough, even the farmers are killed and can't go to their farms. The total quantity of rice produced in Nigeria is not sufficient for Lagos state alone not to talk of the other 35 states and Fct.. Even the Nigeria elite and our so called leaders don't consume local rice, they are even part of the smugglers! Local rice is filled with dirt and very expensive but nutritious. The government needs to do more: Empower the farmers with the necessary machinery and support; make sure it gets to the genuine ones. Secure our farm lands; farmlands should be safe from bandit and kidnappers Local rice should not be more expensive than the smuggled one; work on the price.. 3 Likes 1 Share |

In her remarks, the Project Manager, UNDP-GEF-IAP Resilient Food Security Project, Rhoda Dia, said the Nigerian rice revolution will enhance extension and research delivery services to ensure quality control in rice production.I can't wait to start seeing this. This will move the country forward to greater food sustainability. Nigeria will succeed.

Usless people. Buhari is a killer and destroyer of the economy of a nation. If you want a man who can finish you country's economy in three months, Buhari is the man. Very useless being 4 Likes 1 Share |

It simply means there's shortage of rice in the country? Even the metric tonnes smuggled in and the one produced in Nigeria is not enough to make rice a common commodity cos as it is rice na luxury for most people. Thanks to our government.

Thank God I don't eat foreign rice. Stopped more than 7yrs now. If you are still eating foreign rice and you think you are enjoying, wait until you test the local rice from my village. |

Our locally manufactured ones are equally full of tons of stones and gravel, we need to enhance the production process for teeth sake |
