I must really commend Cardoso. Pounds and Dollars have been falling massively

DIVINEEVIDENCE:
Watch as importers will still exploit this window go make abnormal profits to the detriment of everyone else.

bonechamberlain:


What is this government doing about production. We import milk, diary products, fish, chicken etc when we large swath of ocean, cows roaming aimlessly, vast lands.

The greatest war Nigeria has been facing is economic war, both from external powers and internal saboteurs.

There are some countries hell bent on ensuring Nigeria remains import dependent and their are some Nigerians hell bent on ensuring they are the only ones who should produce and sell food and other commodities.

For the sake of humanity divide Nigeria.. Wole Soyinka.

Zwooks:
Hypocrites. Do the same to cement

tolue42:


You are the one not following. They shut the borders believing local productions will pick up and at a reduced price. But it's obvious our people are even selling at same price importers put on their goods despite sourcing for dollars through black market. So why continue suffering the citizens?

REDshouse:
Peter obi (Next supermarket) importer of all diaries will be happy

budaatum:


While increasing unemployment because you'd rather buy imports?

Tchuks1:


You can't achieve much from our local production because of many factors. A farmer who have toiled, then expecting harvest, all of a sudden, he suffers loss due to herdsmen feeding their cows on his farm. What do you expect.
Many production company are spending more due to light issue. How do you expect their product to be cheap.
Most of raw materials for production are imported and dollar is needed.
The cost still goes high.
Its not easy. Government need to first of all tackle insecurity and other options

MrGerald:
Few importers had access to fx and would fix the price they like, the products were seen as cb by customs with lot of restrictions making it difficult and expensive to get into the country. But now many importers are allowed, competition would crash the price

Nbote:


That's exactly what this means. Before now only a few companies had access to forex at govt rates to import. Now anyone importing milk and dairy products won't have to go and source forex from the black market



Before now only few companies got forex at the official rates and as such it discouraged other companies from getting involved because they wouldn't be able to compete in the market with the ones enjoying govt incentive. But now that the restrictions have been removed, just about anyone can get forex at the same rates to import. With many players in the market, prices will becomes competitive as the best price wins. The few companies importing are the ones enjoying the monopoly of the market

soccerlite:


Importation creates more jobs

Didi2d:


Seriously, I don't know why the government are wasting time on border opening.
They should lift ban on rice, cos I don't understand why rice iss still expensive.
For over eight years now, buhari government in other to encourage local farmers closed the borders, instead this move to make rice surplus and cheep, farmers decided to do otherwise

Salubata:
Government will not rear diary cattle for you, fish, poultry and neither will they force you to.

That's ur responsibility as citizen. Stop putting the blame on government.

When we have surplus of these, we all going to smile.

Or what's your responsibility as citizen? Ask yourself

TrackerSK:
But he dealt a serious blow on you.

Nbote:


Some of you reason like you only have mucus in your head instead of brain matter. Seriously there should be immunisation against foolishness at childbirth so that some of you don't grow into nuisances.

The price of milk and dairy products is one of the reasons why bakers are crying over cost of production

Prices of 25kg of milk is now over 150,000 because only a few companies were given forex at official rates to import them.

alphaNomega:


you can not be asking someone his responsibility as a citizen when his government has been irresponsible.

bonechamberlain:
so you expect Nigerians to put their scarce resources in a very harsh and dangerous business environment where criminals can wake up one morning to destroy years of labour or where one "politician" can influence government policy to favour only him and his cronies.
Whatever way you look at it, it is the duty of the government to provide a business friendly environment, security, stable and open policy for all that would enable businesses to thrive. I would not be the one to do that and the government have failed in all.

Salubata:
We're all Government.
We share the blame together.

You can't lag behind in your own duty as citizen and be blaming Government about theirs

Salubata:
Tell me, is there no friendly Business environment in Agriculture sector especially diary cattle u made mention of.

What move have you made so far?
Stop putting the blame on Government, do your part, TAKE RESPONSIBILITY
