It is honestly better and cheaper than producing.

Don't even say it will affect forex because when we were importing our rice jejely before buhari, the naira was stronger.

Nigeria is a joke. The more we keep importing virtually everything, the more our Naira looses its value.

Good move. Flood the market with it and force prices down. It's far better to use foreign exchange for food than subsidies on petrol.

Buhari and his brothers used rice to play politics for 8 solid years.

But wait o,
The last time we did that, did Nigerians buy it?

We should grow rice.

But we don't have the climate or weather to be a major rice producer

How is it cheaper ? Don’t we have the land, climate and even population that eat rice as staple food ?

Buhari's rice pyramid is gone just like AFDB's president cassava disappeared after GEJ left office. We are in Agbado and Cassava era.

It's a pity, shame on our brainless leaders.

So it's the leaders that are to blame again for the obsessive consumption of rice in this country.

The last government through the CBN spent billions trying to improve rice cultivation, but to no avail.

Many of the challenges the country face are because of us, the people.

If the archive of confidentiality is opened,you will be shocked that the borrowing programme was initiated to induce northern farmers for election benefit....

To what extent can we say the anchor programme influenced the price of the commodity in the market during the last administration.. Instead, we ate stoned rice at higher prices..

Again, you didn't mention the 10k that was distributed during the last administration, they are all vote buying initiatives...

cheesy

Here is the honest truth, we can never be the largest producer of rice, unless

1. We have the climate and weather of a Brazil or Thailand

Or

2. We do massive irrigation and irrigation


No matter how much we try we can't compete with Brazil and Thailand in rice production

Are we talking of exporting or self sufficiency? Are we in any competition? Produce fess for ur citizens. Nigeria climate is good for rice

Seriously I doubt we can achieve self sufficiency in rice production.

Thailand and Brazil are already producing so much rice, it is even cheaper to import their rice than produce ours.

On that basis, just as we hope Dangote refineries will relieve some of the pressures on the Naira, we will be entering into a rice importation palaver where we will need to spend $2 billion or more per year importing rice.

So, back to square one, as the more rice we eat, the more the naira will fall.

Nigeria 's problems are never ending.
Re: Nigeria To Import 2.1 Million Metric Tons Of Rice, Become Top Buyer Globally by Yaribanzaonic: 8:11pm On Nov 15, 2023
Are you guys serious at all. So Fulani killing people and destroying farms is truly an issue now abi? But when IPOB and ESN go after them and kill them same you will be shouting stupidly?

Can you just imagine your thinking? So all these BUHARI loyalty was because you wanted presidency, even when the Nation was bleeding and dying?

You guys are shamelessly pathetic. What I promise you going forward, is that all talk of southern UNITY is DEAD. Let that sink in totally..it must sink in..

Worthless people...




lexylaw40:
are you happy with the way the north is dominating food production in Nigeria by using their cows to come destroy every farm in the South plus the brutal killing of the southern farmers. And moreover the little rice they are able to produce is simply not enough for over 250 million Nigerians. Causing food inflation
