#RubbishPeople

good news though

.

Is this why most food items I by in the market this days are even costlier?

bright007:
Does this reduction also reduce the price of garri in the market

smh

Funny...ow nigeria is only developing on paper.

They can lie sha.

I enjoy ofada rice

samseen02:

Have you considered that higher prices for LOCALLY produced items means MORE INCOME for the producers, mainly farmers in this case, and generally to other citizens in the VALUE CHAIN who can in turn afford these items

The rational thing to do is ask those in agri-business how they are doing now.

jeffizy:
I'm yet to eat a local rice.
I wonder where it is located.

I don't know about where you reside but here in Enugu, made in Nigeria rice has taken over the rice market

Politician with their ways of campaigning. 2015 propaganda

daresma93:
Dis two fool can lie ooo, how come u did all dis things u mention and rice price per bag is still skyrocketing, jonahdumb think everybody is dumb as he is

There is made in Nig 50kg stone free and fresh rice sold for N7,200. Can you beat that? Note, there are more expensive brands of made in Nigeria rice

Thiz not gudd 4 our local industries as it means high cost of export which will only encourage dumping n datz bad 4 our economy

Na ur village dem dey sell dat one because in lagos here a bag of rice still stood at 9k to 9.5k

Ehmmm Sambo..that's so true..but u guys still enjoying the N1Billion budgeted for food in Aso-Rock abi?..or have u guys returned the balance(arising from reduced food price) back to the CBN?..yeye people!

Intreating! But the ordinary man is yet to feel the impact. We don't want paper work but realit.

can we see a picture of at least the bag, where it is printed made in ngr.

omenka:
These people tho. Smh.

There is a difference between "reducing the cost of importing foodstuff" and reducing the cost of food imports. I guess the later is what they meant.

You must be very good at technicalities. Hope the OP learns quickly from you.

jeffizy:

I don't know about other areas,but if you are in onitsha you will invariably get bags of local rice... Pokobros Group manufactures local rice

Sorry to those expecting cheap food stuff. You can not sow coco yam and expect to reap potatoes.

Once upon a time this rice were wasting away in the storehouse of the farmers because we were complaining of them having stones, not pretty and polished as imported ones and this make this farmers to sell at ridiculous cheap price thereby incurring debt and remaining in poverty.

Well for your information, like Jonathan or not, the wise and truthful farmers like him and not ashamed about him because of what his administration has done in agriculture. I agree the money they claimed to have spent seems not to correlate with what is on ground ( don't forget the Nigeria factors ) but i won't comment further until indisputable fact are presented before me.

This administration took a bold step though costly and i ate ofada rice without stone but people were complaining of the time it takes to cook ofada and other local rice. People were denigration this rice because they were produced locally but thank God that come to the rescue of the farmers, this rice that we look down upon are now being sought after in the international market. So put yourself in the shoe of the local rice producers or farmers and ask yourself this question " between international and local market which is more profitable, which one will increase my financial power" don't forget this farmers have family and needs.

I will also like to advice us to brace up for more price hike in food stuff. If you don't know ordinary ugu " pumpkin vegetable " is the export market. People are now coming to add value to this food. You see people setting up processing and packaging company for garri, yam flour, beans flour ( no need to wash beans and grind to paste before you can make moi moi or akara ) e.t.c you doubt me? Then visit all the supermarket and some shop in your locality.

And for those of us eating rice thinking and feeling on top of the world that we are eating imported rice, for your information that rice you are eating the probability of it being made in naija is 70 percent to hundred. Stallion, mama gold, flour mill to mention but a few are investing heavily in this sector and have started churning out product to the market but being wise investors just like other investors in other segment of the economy, they dare not label their product made in naija. Except flour mill and their rice good.

dgitrader:

Doubting Thomas....

Local rice plenty for naija...

While we were staying in onitsha I normally go to Pokobros Group of company to purchase local rice.. inside the company you will even cite their rice field...

What I find implausible in your post is the notion that the Ministry of Agriculture will provide the necessary enablemen for local production of rice, yet allow them get away with not labelling it as "Made in Nigeria"!

SON and other agencies will definitely cone after them us this was so. Of what use is the government going to be boasting of such achievements if beneficiaries don't label appropriately?

Bro I feel and understand you but this money need to make their money back and most of this money are bank loan so no blame them blame the Nigerian man and woman that refuses to accept and acknowledged anything made in naija as being good or at par with foreign ones.

And if you still don't believe me let me ask you this question " how many company in other sector of the company has son and fg ban or sanction for not labelling their product made in Naija"? If you have the means and the chance take a tour to many of this manufacturing companies and see how many of them is labelling made in naija. Cabelmetal their product is adjudged to be the best in the world in term of standard and quality but how many Nigerian are wiring their house with cabelmetal wire?

So what is the effect of the saved amount on the economy??

Habeyy:
kudos. to u bro....u are quite. brainy

Bro thanks for the compliment but this things required no brain at all to know. The thing they stare at us korokoro but apc verses pdp no dey make us see again and i tell you if care is not taken this pdp vs apc thing will destroy Nigeria if we don't repent and allow and encourage truth to reign.

adedayourt:

Less naira chasing the dollar

More job opportunities for those who are willing to get their dirty.

Another avenue for foreign and local investor to invest in and make more money and contributing to the boosting of the economy that's if they have a honest person managing the investment.

More revenue ( if corruption is checked ) for the fg, state govt, and local govt by way of tax and charges invented by the authorities and revenue collectors

Increased in the financial powers of the farmers

Bro the thing plenty come get multiplier effect join am but settlement here and there and unwise or wasteful spending no go let us see the benefit.
