This may look good for now. Yet, it's not good for the future of the country, that's consequences of insecurity and greediness of Nigerian rice farmers that turn local rice to foreign due to triple gain interest.

The main problem is lack of sincerity of purpose and societal corruption in Nigeria. Government need to work on insecurity and encouraging farmers to plant what Nigerians eating. if not, Naija will be perpetually be slave to USD.

Wake up Naija, we're the hope of black race.

So, what happened to Buhari's rice pyramid? undecided


That rice pyramid is the greatest scam in Africa.
Yeah, scam like Buhari's Air Nigeria, or what did his aviation minister call that Ethiopia Airlines plane repainting project?

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.


We are not achieving self sufficiency in anything.

Ordinary corn barely last 3 months these days because the population has exploded.

Whether it is Garri, Yam, plantain, you name it, we don't produce enough.

And now, we have made rice, a foreign food, the most widely consumed food in the country.

My niece doesn't eat yam, eba, pounded yam etc She just can't eat them even if she tries to It's rice, rice, rice.

Instead of this let's strive to revive SME and also train our extension officers to train the farmers on modern approach to agriculture and Stive to co.Pete with others globally and invariably increase our revenue which helps the country and her citizens



Anyway, Agriculture is life.

Don't you get the info bandits have been on rampage and killing and maiming farmers and the lucky ones are been taxed to harvest their produce. It's not about putting training mechanism in place,it's about addressing the underlying issue which is insecurity.

Nigeria leaders are very confused.
They are struggling to stop importation of refined crude products due to the pressure on forex but they are opening the gates for imported rice.
We will see between the two, which puts more pressure on forex.

DeLaRue:


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.






You're really funny man, so people shouldn't eat or what?
Talking about the last government's effort through the CBN, how many people got access to that audio loan they promised?
The rice which according to them was capable of feeding the nation and covering the issue of food security, how did it end?
China for instance, is almost 4 times our population yet they're feeding themselves.

Back to ground zero. Indeed the mass insecurities from the criminal bandits from the Sahelian areas of West Africa (Niger, Chad, Mali, etc) who have been terrorizing Nigeria for over a decade have to be brutally crushed so that the local production of paddy rice by farmers in Northern Nigeria can be increased to supply the modern Nigerian rice mills at Imota in Ikorodu, Lagos State, Kebbi State, Niger State, etc.

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
You don't know anything about agric
We don't need Brazil's weather to grow rice. Rice comes in different varieties and there are those that do well in Nigeria's climatic conditions.
Secondly, we don't need to be the largest producer of rice. Not everything is about being the largest or biggest producer.
Self-sufficiency is still an economic target in any nation
