Nigerian farmers can't compete with current security in the country. They should look for other things to do.

If that happens the chain of business that will break down will be much. It will not affect only farmers.

why not think of growing your own food chinedu?

Have you grown yours aboki?

Nigeria is back to square one. What a shame

wherever? Europeans rejected Ukraine grains due to contamination of uranium do you know anything at all?

As obtained from your village's website and coven. Reason for the rejection of Ukrainian grains by Poland and a few other European countries is pricing - Ukrainian grains are relatively cheap and by extension local farmers in those concerned countries are being hurt economically. https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/why-have-some-eu-countries-banned-ukraine-grain-imports-2023-04-17/

Not everyone loves rice as an ultimate food as you may think.

Surprisingly, if i earned N1M monthly, I will still choose Eba over rice. I prefer to eat swallow 5 times to eating rice 1 time

Sir u go get pot belly as I dey reason u so.

The Buhari administration made a grave mistake by banning food importation for local production. Even developed nations do import foodstuff heavily. If stopping food import is the solution to boosting local production, how come we are worse than before in terms of food production?

So this man Tinubu was actually serious when promised to feed Nigerians with corn and agbado
Hmmm, I thought he was joking oo

There will be no meaningful development in Nigeria until we learn to despise the quick fix.

Dpharisee:
All the Billions that Buhari gave to local farmers in the North as CBN Anchor Borrowers Scheme was used to organise mass weddings and now the North is starving because instead of farming with those monies they were busy using it to buy Burantashi to increase their libido to be impregnating their underage wives while showing us pictures of very scanty mediocre farms where they are using dagger to harvest wheat

Then those annoying Nairaland resident propagandists will quickly push it to front page and start shouting "dry season farming massive wheat harvest in the North"
then the next day we see them looting warehouses and stealing food to break Ramadan fast while marching to death several people in stampedes due to desperation.

I am happy that Tinubu has seen through the nonsense and is opening the borders to food imports, if southern farmers had gotten those Billions we won't be in this mess because they will be afraid to misuse it knowing that its a loan that will be paid but over here in the North it is termed "kudin gominanti" which means our share of the national cake which they won't make efforts to repay until its written off as Bad Loan

Na wa.

😆

andy244:

So you will eat contaminated food because of hunger? See you see grave oo. Have sense small

Whats so big about death, last I check everyone will die

Distraction from electricity tarrif removal.
Nigerians don enter one chance.

A very good move to crash n crush the cost of local food by local farmers.
Soon a bag of rice will drop to 20k. Kudos to President Tinubu.
Action is what Nigerians need at this difficult times. It shall be well.

The ban on the importation of poultry should be on the list to crash the price of meat protein

I know even if this present government reduced one congo of rice to one Kobo you will still comlain,some of you are naturally born to wail,comlain and cry.

datola:
Who is eating corn?

Can you name the other businesses?

Cluelessness, policies from the pit of hell all because they eat free from government pot

Thats good , let everything enter, even frozen turkey abeg

We should have State Farm’s
All local produce should be bought by govt so locals can compete with import

femicyrus:

Importers are also Nigerians too not only farmers.
The billions made by farmers from emefiele with nothing to show for it is what Cardoso should continue?

Are the farmers of the imported food also Nigerians?

What works are you doing to produce items for export to pay for the imported food

Which of the japa countries has farms, plantations and ranches owned by government because they are running a communist system

Corn and rice from Ukraine you mean?

No doubt ... wasn't that what Zelensky rep came for? We are importing corn from a country at war when we can be growing our own. At what cost?... invest that money locally and we can grow and harvest it on our own. Why we don't?.... because it was long decided by the leading European nations ... the US and Canada ..... that Africa .ust not be allowed to be self sufficient in foods. The crops that are allowed to grow in abundance are ones that are needed by them .... e.g cocoa. Maize no ... it must be imported from Europe/USA/ Canada. In these times we need to ban the importation of these agricultural products and be self sufficient. The technology to manipulate our DNA has moved ahead from doing so through "mRNA vaccines" as in the COVID-19 shots .... to manipulating our DNA through crops.... and who is ahead of the game?... Bill Gates. Population reduction is still the name of the game.

NEW STOCK LOADING

Kudos to president Tinubu, he should import all the food items to Nigeria, so as to reduce there price, since they decided to hoard it and sell it outside Nigeria.
Our able presido, please import all the food items into Nigeria.
When you bring it into Nigeria, the price will crash and the hoarders will cry very well, as Nigerians have been crying.
This is a good news.

Federal government should start farming program, recruit people to work in it and monitor it, let the farm be very big in all the states in Nigeria.

All the ones they invested, where is it? They have sold it outside Nigeria.
Federal government should do farming themselves and monitor it.
Nigerians are wicked, since the Buhari regime, he gave farmers all they needed, after giving them, they refused to sell it in the market, but choose to sell it to other countries and hoard the rest.
Federal government should do the farming themselves or bring in Chinese companies that will monitor it. Nigerian farmers are wicked, moreover bokoharam and Fulani herdsmen, Kidnappers are disturbing Nigerians.
For now, the best thing is to import food, our bushes are not safe or deploy Nigeria army to the farm.
Safety first

femicyrus:

So the whole country should die of hunger and inflation because the north cannot stop terrorism, banditory and kidnapping in the north?

Some powerful Few are benefiting from insecurity in the north but the vast majority of Nigerians cannot continue to starve as a result.

The best thing is to import food until further notice. When our farm becomes safe, we will start farming.

Government really needs to prioritize and bring marketing boards back. When you prioritize consistent profit pricing and offtake agreement between farmers and buyers, everybody wins. Farmers, governments, bankers, insurance companies, exporters and others. Guaranteed profitable business for farmers, less risky business model for banks, easier for them to price loan risk with less defaults. Increase in export products due to surplus harvest from farmers. Higher foreign exchange income for fx stability and other benefits.
Government really need to prioritize this and bring it back.

suckmedownthere:
Hardworking citizens will enter market to buy food and will see rice and beans but will go for garri, you will work but you can't eat what you like.....

Garri sef is expensive now.

Can you explain how marketing boards will work in today's Nigeria? Western Nigeria had Western Nigeria Marketing Board(Wemabod) in the past, from where wema bank sprang up.

Choi oil rice is sure for me then 😁
