Useless country where the chamber of commerce dont work in regulating prices all they do is sit in office and receive salaries

Nigeria is a disgrace to himanity

A cup of local rice sold for 320, it's not funny ooo.

victorclean:
Gbam. Very foolish middle men causing hardship. FG out of pity banned importation for Nigerian farmers to enjoy, but their greed for money lead to increase in price above imported foods despite not paying import duties.

Nigeria middle men should be examine.

Are you a farmer? How many hectares u dey farm? Una dey talk asif there is adequate security for farmers.
Do you all read news of how farmers are being attacked in their farms and k**led?

Fix the issue of security and a lot of people will dive into farming right now

Why not the government can continue decieving themselves.. They believe stopping import will help

Jokerman:
- Did petrol price reduce?

- Did security in farmland reduce?

- Did tax and tariff collectors reduce thier price from the market people and farmers?

- Did electricity price reduce?

- Are workers not going to request for increase in Salary?

Don't mind those yeye people saying rubbish instead of them to say the absolute truth they will sha find a way to pervert it and find someone to blame

Buhari scam

Normal normal I make sure I plant yearly even if it's third party planting and harvesting process.
If you have funds that you can invest in agriculture for personal consumption then make sure to...thank me later.


Wittyness

you are very correct 💯

One of the effects of Emilokan

Farm labor is high
Bad roads High
Transport costs. High
Diesel price high
Insecurity high
Rural to urban drift high
Pesticides and herbicides cost high

Equals to high cost of food

Apparently, the rise in dollar had no effect in the price of local food commodities.

If the problem of insecurity, and Fulani herdsmen killing farmers and destroying their farm produce can be brought to its barest minimum. Just maybe things might eventually go back to normal

Aside these factors stated above, sometimes na we dey do ourselves for this country. We are our own enemy

Not everyone will be a farmer. in the USA, less than 10% are farmers and they feed their nation while here is the reverse, yet food scarcity

Agriculture will be a Norm if security becomes a norm

MuslimIgbo:
Nothing but greed.

Imagine beans more expensive than rice. See price of common garri now..


Nigerians are GREEDY

Extremely greedy!!!

This is not unconnected to bandits, Boko guys and fulani herdsmen chasing farmers away from their farms.

Creating a secured Nigerian community is an invaluable asset.

Insecurity is affecting us in ways we never imagined:

...Investors will not come to be kidnapped
...farmers will not farm for fear of the unknown
...northern farmers driven by bandits now in a record number constituting nuisance in the south
...the attendant food inflation is the reason warehouses are not safe anymore

And so on.

Well your statements showed that you don't understand what a middle man is.

Middle man is the people that buy farm products very cheap from producers(farmers) and make far more profit than the farmers.

Most farmers don't have what we call route to the market and it's contingencies.

Middle men also hijacked BDC making naira dollars exchange to skyrocket

God bless you Op...!

This is what I observed since.

How can local rice be dragging price with the ones imported with foreign currency?!!

victorclean:
The Agric minister is still asleep. Not yet a problem to the rich people. NIGERIA will definitely act when it affect the rich as well just as it they are fighting dollars

food cannot affect the rich. That's why they're rich. It's only the poor masses that will suffer for it.

Until then, there is nothing we can do

People wey dey my village dey see food pass people wey dey town.
Person go get house and lands for village come go town dey pay useless bills.
Otu gbowakwa lack of common sense

For dustbin those days na so so leftover food and vegetables dem dey troway full am.

Nigerians been no sabi say na paradise dem dey.

From Sai baba to emilokan, APC done turn bad situation into a rotten one.

Elections have consequences.

Mekuna enjoy.

Abeg nothing come down,apart from noodles which come down partially,paint of rice is still 7k,let it come back to the 4k buhari left it.it is possible

Read to comprehend...there's no award for hasty mentions...

Wittyness

I was thinking hard about venturing into agric some days because I have a ten hectare land in my hometown and I noticed the gap in the sector but creating a system that will work for everyone looks like a challenge.

The dollar increment has always been an excuse... Nigerians love to rip off the next person

Na today you know?
It has been like so even before Buhari came into office. A local rice plus stone one mudu used to sell for 250 then foreign rice without stone sells for 400.
Technically it has been like that

The small businesses suffer imagine those producing milled grains. The cost of grains, packaging,milling production has gone up.There should be a holistic approach reduce taxation, improve power,make grains available, encourage local production,give out grants and subsidies Through your agencies like smedan,seed council ,stop showing pictures of entrepreneurship training here and there,using b@nks to device us promising loans with high interest rates. Mbok am tayad

The great TINUBULATION

Yea....it's a no-brainer!
Doing it local doesn't necessitate products being cheap if there is
1. Little or no electricity
2. Insecurity
3. High transport cost
4. Multiplicity of taxes

Once these issues are not tackled,local producers will resort to alternative power,provide their own security and all these will be inputted in their production cost which will inflate prices eventually!

Let the govt remove huge taxes on imported goods and allow these greedy local animals to die in high bp. Because they meant and their mission is to kill. Apc pdp, and Lp people how market? Biafra is still my religion..
