What in this Article proves that those Pictures are indeed A Rice Factory in Anambra State?
Meanwhile, where do we have rice farms in Anambra?, someone should please educate me.
So much lies and deceit in the media.
the OP should provide proof of this and let me eat my words.
Obiano's reign is barely 2 years, yet i see pictures of Old equipment and building, and yet the OP says its a newly built factory

manuelzz:
The brown roof warriors won't like this. They'll first question the source,play down the importance of this great news and finally they'll scream Sai Baba...

Lol, I love obiano development but that doesn't mean you should throw tribal jabs on south west as if we are limited in Agriculture and the notion of calling us brown roof region is ridiculous bro. It's not that there ain't brown roof in ontisha.

We also have similar Agric development in Ogun state and other south west states. Have u heard of ofada rice? Ofada rice bag is common at major markets. Just like ilesha rice, Benin rice, badeggi rice and other local rice u can think of.

Anambra East hast a fertile land and has the Anambra river at their back yard they are good in rice,yam,vegetable and cassava farming and that is the same area the governor comes from.

Willie is working

coalcoal1:
are you guys ever satisfied when you heart good news?

It is good news in the short term. However, what is going to happen after the governor is gone? We should not kid ourselves about not knowing how our politicians work. Give me one government agency that is effectively managed in this country.

I like the idea but I don't understand why the governor should be the one building a rice mill with public funds, something some wealthy business men would gladly venture into if they consider the benefits offered by the government.

Anambra government would not only save money for essential services, but also have a rice mill which will generate employment for its youth

Some haters will soon surface and remind us on how land-locked igbo land is.
Igbos are rapidly developing without the proverbial oil money while Osun can no longer afford xmass decoration cos of oil price fall

This is absolute nonsense. What is a state government doing with the production of rice or production activities for that matter. A venture that may not be sustained or continued after the tenure of the governor. An activity which may be marred with fraud and waste. Therefore resulting to waste of funds. Why would a governor waste public funds for an activity that private businessmen should undertake.

Government should be bothered with essential services such as transportation, security, education, water, roads. Government must prioritize ventures it must undertake and channel scarce resources into it.

Someone should tell Obiano that he would have discussed with some businessmen from his state such as the Cosmas Madukas to invest in a rice mill and obtain concession and tax reliefs. Hence, the money used by the governor to build the rice mill would have been used for essential services.

This is just a pure waste of Anambra scarce resources.

anambra government did not invest in rice. they only created enabling environment for people like coscharis to invest $400million in rice farming. with others like Joseph agro.

Can we actually confirm that the rice been processed are grown in Anambra or that the rice were imported from overseas and processed in Anambra?

Kudos to Anambra state....they have a thinking governor.....


Meanwhile Boooohari and his brothers are still eagerly awaiting the stipends they make from Oyel. Rubbish!

Anambra State govt. is partnering with Coscharis Motors and some other private investors on Agro business in the state.

As a Civil Servant in Anambra state I can tell you from first hand experience that these are locally produced rice..

good development. but why did they need to add "stone free"?? as if its a norm to have stone in rice.

Also why add "Willie is working"?? does anyone care really??

kodded:
okorocha you see your life

he's busy doing nothing.... y'all should enjoy the once in a year Christmas tree...n

nice one... in case our oil dries up we fall back to agriculture....

mazzi:
Southeast governor are busy investing their states funds in meaningful development projects,while their counterparts from south west are busy investing in media whitewash.

You don't make a point by adopting extremes. That's polarity thinking. Lets celebrate success wherever we find it and ensure we preserve our intellectual integrity.

Shut up before I use my iron belt to flog that sw hate and jealousy from you. Are you aware that Cosmas Maduka and other notable businessmen have commercial farms in Anambra? I know because I did some farming supplies to some of them. Don't come here and say what you don't know. You talk about road, water and education. ..are you not aware that Anambra leads every other states in Nigeria in these areas?

Daniel058:
Buy Abakaliki rice, re-bag and call it Anambra rice..

Common stop celebrating mediocity and ask your pmb to get to work asap. For starters you can show him these pics of anambra rice

In fulfilment of his campaign promise of
revolutionissing agriculture to boost food production
and create jobs, Anambra State Governor, Willie
Obiano, at the weekend commissioned a multi-billion
naira farm project in partnership with the Coscharis
Group at Anaku town in Ayamelum Local Government
Area of the state
Performing the opening ceremonies to mark the take-
off of the project known as the Coched Farms Project,
Governor Obiano assured of his administration’s
determination to make Anambra State the number one
state in rice production in the country, starting with a
projected increase in the volume of rice production in
the state from the present 80,000 metric tons to
400,000 metric tons.
To speed up the achievement of this target, the
governor announced that the state had commenced
the distribution of 120,000 metric tons of high-yielding
rice species to farmers for this year’s planting
season through their various cooperative societies
which he noted would give the state over 300,000
metric tons of rice at harvest time.
The Coched Farm Project is a joint venture between
the state government and the Coscharis Group that
will lead to the cultivation of 2,500 hectares of rice per
season and a production capacity of 12,000 metric
tons per annum in the first phase.
Obiano explained that the importance of the project
would be better understood by examining its projected
impact on the lives of the people. “This enterprise will
generate about 1000 full-time and seasonal jobs for
youths and women across the entire rice value chain.
The farm is expected to produce 8,000 to 12,000
metric tons of paddy per annum with an expected
income of N400 million to N600 million per annum
from paddy when fully developed. At an estimated
market value of N140,000 per metric ton of processed
rice, the expected income will be between N784
million to N1.176 billion per annum when the
production and processing infrastructure are fully
developed. These estimates fall nicely into my
campaign promise to Ndi Anambra that we shall drive
development through agriculture to create jobs, jobs,
jobs, boost our domestic economy and shore up the
revenue profile of the State,’ he said.
He revealed that the state government had already
committed N300 million to the partnership
and structured the venture to benefit the community,
the state and the country.
Offering insight into his administration’s decision to
focus on rice production, Governor Obiano explained
that apart from the availability of arable land, he was
aware of some impressive statistics which cited
Nigeria as the largest consumer of rice on the
continent with six million metric tons of rice
consumed annually in the country.
According to him, half of the volume was imported
while 2.8 million metric tons was produced locally,
pointing out that Nigeria spent about N365 billion on
importing rice annually (an average of N1 billion per
day).
The governor recalled that since his inauguration on
March 17, his administration had been “consumed by
the titanic effort to remake Anambra State, by planting
a tree of hope in the society and nurturing it with
tenderness till harvest time,” adding that the Coched
Farm Project came into being as a response from
industrialists and entrepreneurs whom he held
discussions with at an all-important meeting of
illustrious sons and daughters of the state.
According to him, Chief Cosmas Maduka, chairman of
Coscharis Group was one of those who heeded the
call and resolved to support the state’s wealth
creation efforts with their ingenuity and finance and
helped to facilitate the Coched Farm Project at Anaku.
While enjoining others to emulate Coscharis effort so
that there would be many more similar investments in
the agricultural sector, he disclosed that more major
investors would soon be in the state to embark on
commercial and mechanised agriculture in the various
agricultural belts of the state, which he observed
would attract more agro-based industries with
increased value benefits, wealth creation and
employment opportunities.
The governor restated the focus of his administration
on some of its set targets for agriculture in the state,
three of which he named as follows: “That Anambra
State should be among the top three states in
agricultural production in Nigeria; that Anambra State
should become number one in the production of rice,
cassava and fish in the first four years of the
administration; and that agriculture should contribute
at least 40 per cent to the GDP of Anambra State.”
He urged the people of Amaku community to give total
support and cooperation to ensure the success of the
venture as they would be the primary beneficiaries,
warning that government would not tolerate any act
that would threaten the progress of work.
Obiano described the event “as a watershed in our
collective effort to build a new Anambra State – a
place where the creative energies of the people are
matched by the opportunities for self-actualisation.
In his own remarks, the Chairman of the company,
Chief Cosmas Maduka, thanked Governor Obiano for
endorsing the partnership and stated that the project
at full operation would provide 500 direct jobs and
2,000 indirect jobs and would extend to other parts of
the state.
The industry captain observed that in addition to the
rice farm, the project also had a rice mill of 20 tons
per hour capacity that would provide services to local
farmers.
In their separate remarks, the Chairman of Ayamelum
Local Government Area, Mr. Paul Obiora, and an
industrialist and community leader, Chief Rommy
Ezeonwuka of Rojenny Tourist Village Oba, noted that
agriculture holds a great promise for the future of the
state and commended the governor for his bold
initiative to give it a pride of place in Anambra State.
