This is a fat lie and obviously another avenue to get govt subsidy to buy non existing rice for storage.

China with larger landmass a with rice as a staple food does not even smell that rubbish you guys are circulating.

Abi una sabi farm rice pass China?
It's quite unfortunate you can not even correctly interpret the info you posted to discredit this commendable achievement. The unit of the annual production in your table is 1000 metric tons. That makes whateve figure posted under that column in thousandths, which means China has produced 144,560 x 1000 metric tons. This is equal to 144.56million metric tons. Now compare that to Nigerian Kebbi's 1million target and tell me if it is still impossible

A million tonnes is equivalent to one billion kilograms which at 50kg a bag of rice equals to 20 million bags of rice.

That equates to 1 bag of 50kg rice for every 8 Nigerians (at 160illion population figure) .

and they achieved all this in less than one year?

Born liars
ahaha guy why you burst thier lies quick like this, we for let them happy small, but this can be achieved, I like that Minister of agriculture under GEJ time, he was a hard working man

Nigeria rice is available in most market where they sell rice in bulk, it's available at iddo market, Mushin market etc here in Lagos @ 13,000 looks more like imported rice, people don't patronize the rice, they give excuses that the rice is not sweet. The rice gum together when cooked etc. That Is the reason why you don't see it everywhere, people that resell prefers to buy what they can sell quickly so as to restock.

We need to change our orientation.

Ps whats the price of a bag of rice today ? From simple economics, we know that when the supply is high, the demand is low which in turn affects the price. But what we have today is counterintuitive. That's why I think the government is full lies and propaganda.
Am very sure u haven't gone to the market

Local rice is cheap around 12k if u want imported rice then pay for it.. .

The worlds leading rice producer is China with just an annual turnover of 144,000 tonnes


Why must these people always lie?

Do the math.

One million tonnes is equivalent to 20million 50kg bags of rice.


How is that remotely possible in just one year from one isolated state?
What do u mean by isolated state. Kebbi is a large producer of rice b4 then coupled with the support from govt this yr, why can't they produce more....

Go to better school, u will not listen.
Each at the rate of 1000 metric tones. So whatever figure u see will be multiplied by 1000.
Re: Kebbi Surpasses One Million Tonnes Of Rice by omonnakoda: 11:18pm On Nov 10, 2016
ShinnBet:
My first post on this thread pointed on what one million tonnes translates to in terms of standard 50kg bag sold in the market.

And the math translates to 20million bags.


That was my main argument.

If you like grab on the straws but that will never make this lie fly.

China produces 144,000,000 tones not only to feed 2bn people but to export and they have been doing this for millienas with rice as their staple food.

So for Kebbi to achieve about 1% of that output in one year, which is more than enough to feed Nigeria then that is a big lie!
That it translates to 20 million bags IS NOT AN ARGUMENT.

To say there are hundred kobo in 1 naira is not an argument.

China is not an exporter of rice it is the LARGEST IMPORTER of rice in the world.


The article claims they planted 500000 hectares of rice IS THAT TRUE ??


How much rice can an average farmer produce from one hectarehuh


Those are the important questions not how many grains there are in 1 million tonnes.


I am not sure whether they are lying but you do not debunk their claim by telling us how many 50 kg bags there are,What is the relevance of that?

Very typical of Osu, you won't cool down before making comment. The stat you show is 1000 multiply by the country annual turnover which means that China annual turnover is 144 million tonnes. I can't believe someone has to correct you guys for everything

Even at that you can not rationalize how they produced 1,000,000 tonnes because that will amount to 20million 50kg bags.


Is that a realistic figure in your own perspective ?

Mr man are you a farmer?, in my farm alone dis year i got atleast 40 bags of rice, dats apart from d other crops I have. so shut it if you don't know how things work
Re: Kebbi Surpasses One Million Tonnes Of Rice by omonnakoda: 11:32pm On Nov 10, 2016
You need 500000 hectares to produce between 1 and 3 million tonnes.

Kebbi State has an area of 3.8 million hectares so I do not see this as such an outrageous claim

I have since my error and it doesn't change my stance because it was meant to be a comparative.

And FYI I thought the original amount quoted was a million metric tonnes.

Now shift.
Very interesting the kind of people we have on this forum - you should accept correction and apologize for posting misleading / mischievous info here be it you do not know how to interpret data presented in tabular form, or your rush to condemn this government by any means thereby blinding you to what was presented in that table or deliberately mispresenting the info in the table - pls be that humble, let the change you want to see in the government u are so much in a hurry to condemn begin with you my brother.

Agric revolution began under GEJ. There was no noise about it.

People went into palm, cassava, plantain, poultry, piggery, cashew and so on. Incuding your truly.

By the way, these millions of tons of rice are not in the market so far.

Has anyone seen that rice in PH, Lagos, Benin, Enugu, Jos, Ibadan, Minna and such places?

Price of rice is still going up.

Are we sure this rice is cheaper than imported one?

Considering the amount of work that goes into rice farming & loss to weaver birds & the elements/disease, it is not easy to be that cheap.

Kudos. We need more of it.
Come to PH we eat Labana rice on a daily basis.. For just 18500... Call if you are interested
