Alright, mate, let me explain what this news is saying in a simple way. It's about how India's ban on exporting some types of rice has affected Nigeria and other countries that depend on importing rice from India.

Basically, India decided to stop sending out non-basmati rice, which is a cheaper and more common kind of rice, to keep the prices low in their own country. This means that Nigeria and other West African countries can't get enough rice from India to meet their local demands. Nigeria has been trying to produce more rice locally, but it still needs to import some rice to make up for the gap.

Now, because of the shortage of rice from India, the local rice farmers and millers in Nigeria are also struggling. They can't get enough rice to process and sell, and they have to deal with other problems like border closure, sanctions, and bandits. This has caused many of them to shut down their businesses and lose their income.
As a result of all this, the price of rice in Nigeria has gone up a lot in the past few months.

Now, to answer your question about whether or not it is the raw rice from India they mill in Nigeria and brand locally produced rice, the answer is no. Nigeria imports mainly Indica white rice from India, which is already milled and polished. Nigeria also produces its own local rice, such as Ofada, Abakiliki, and Lake Rice, which are different from the Indian rice in terms of quality and nutrition. The local rice is milled by local millers who add value to the product and create employment. Nigeria does not import raw rice from India and repackage it as local rice. That would be considered dishonest and illegal. That's my little idea!

This thing you wrote here is contradictory and does not explain why the rice factories in Nigeria are shutting down.

Nigeria rice mills needs to import rice from India to make up for the gap in supply which they are unable to fill.

Nigerian rice mills does not import raw rice from India to package and sell as local rice.

Are you an author of confusion?

It's good news in a way, cos if I get my economics right, surplus translates to reduction in price of commodity. So rice should come cheap anytime soon.

Even though you make a lot of sense, it is obvious the reason why rice millers in Nigeria are affected is because some of them do process and sell rice imported from India, otherwise there would be no need for them to be so affected to the extent shutting down.!

Good summary👏🏿

Still no explanation why nigerian rice mills have to shut down due to India's ban on rice exportation.
Moreover, if I recall, the whole essence of closing our border was for Nigerian to be self sufficient in rice production.

Forget about access to farm and any other thing.
Just explain how India's ban on rice exportation is killing nigerian rice mills🤷🏿‍♂️

Less competition.
