If you have been to kano by road, you will concur, the whole axis on Kano-zaria road are villages that cultivate rice all year round, you can't miss it with the activity going on as you pass by, farmers, millers, traders...you name it.

all we see is figures,even if we produce 9billion metric tonnes a month the question is how does it impact the average nigerian? it makes me ask did question wat is d use of d thousands of metric tonnes when the price is still as high as WTC?

Truth234:
Local rice production in Nigeria has now reached 15 million metric tonnes annually, the government has claimed.

It said the development means the country will now be saving about N300 billion it used to spend annually on importation of the commodity.

The Director of Agriculture at the Kano office of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Muhammad Adamu, made the claim yesterday while inaugurating the Rice Millers Association of Nigeria, (RIMAN) in the state.

He said in Kano alone, 1.2 million metric tonnes of rice was produced in 2016.

He said with the significant increase in local productions and the efforts to make the local variety qualitative and more attractive to Nigerians, the country expects to begin exporting rice to West African countries by 2018/2019.

Adamu, according to Premium Times, said about 34 states in Nigeria are producing rice, with many now producing three times in a year.

He disclosed that investigation carried out by the federal government revealed that rice imported to Nigeria are 10-15 years old and are preserved with chemicals which can cause cancer to consumers.

In his remarks, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Rice Miller’s Association, Peter Dama, said, the association was established to promote local milling of rice that is fresh, healthy and nutritious.

He said the association is willing to collaborate with the Nigeria Customs Service to stem smuggling of expired rice into Nigeria.

Dama added that the association intended to work closely with regulatory agencies and policymakers to ensure standard in local rice milling.

The customs officer in charge of rice enforcement, Ado Hassan, warned that officers caught conniving with rice smugglers would have themselves to blame.

He said in less than one year, the zonal command of the agency confiscated 800,000 bags of rice in Kano and Jigawa States.

He said about 9,000 bags of the rice are still in the stores of the agency, adding that most of the rice were being given to internally displaced persons after been certified fit for consumption by the National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC).

With all these statistics you quote for rice I wonder if it is been produced and thrown into the sea as we hardly see the impact of rice in circulation.

Or else this statistics is cooked up

Stone-free isn't different really. It's polished, milled and bagged by high-tech rice production companies like Olam (An Indian coy based in Nigeria and Miva rice etal). If you took one bag of Mama Pride or Miva Rice across the border, it'd also be referred to as foreign rice.

Story Story Story, How many of you believing this trash has eaten the supposed local rice for the past six months, its still the imported rice we see every where, so why deceiving the masses

As our rice production increases, our imports increases too. who is foooooling who

EYIBLESSN:
Upon all these figures Audu Ogbeh said there are no bags to bagged the rice produced in this country.

The kind of stupid reasoning coming from our government this days can be so disgusting. The minister for education was quoted as saying some of the minister masterminded the ASUU strike so that they can robe him of nonperformance.

When he was busy writing gibberish against the Federal Government as a member of ASUU, he has forgotten that. Now that the table is turning against the next thing which is common to the APC Government is giving excuses that stinks beyond the sky.

Just listen to yourself. Shut it if you don't have any meaningful thing to say. Enemy of progress.

Amoto94:
I know there is marked improvement in rice cultivation but I doubt the quoted figures as there are no verifiable records to validate his claim.

Do you have records to dispute the claim?
