Rice Production In Nigeria Hits 15 Million Tonnes — Bursted by yanshDoctor: 11:05pm On Jan 06, 2018 |
i want to expose the government lies and deceit. let do the simple arithmetic together. 1 Metric tonnes is equivalent to 1000kg now let divide the 1000kg with 50kg, that's a bag of rice. 1000 ÷ 50 = 20. we are talking about 20 bags of rice here as one metric tonnes. the government claimed to have produce 15,000,000 metric tonnes for 2017. 15,000,000 × 20 = 300,000,000 that's about 300 million bags of rice.

hardywaltz: He may have a point oh. And you know this government tells nice stories to look good. By the way, demand for rice in 2016 was 5.2m tonnes (see link below) . If we are producing 15m tonnes according to this government official, why are we importing not exporting? https://www.google.com.ng/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/amp/world-africa-38795673 16 Likes |

Campusity:He has no point so telling us it is 300million bags proves what? How many grains is it?. You don't prove anything with a stupid common entrance calculation. How many olodos is it? I have no idea whether the government is lying. But that calculation is very stupid it is like calculating how many seconds are in a week. My response So what? The issue is how many tonnes of rice are produced per hectares and how many hectares are under cultivation.

At a yield of 4 tonnes per hectare we need to cultivate 4 million hectares of rice ie 40000 square kilometres Is that realistic? We are talking an area the size of Zamfara state That is how to burst the claim Facts! Not guesses |

A ship load of rice is about 300,000 bags. Surely if 300M bags hit the market there's bound to be an impact. These people are desperately gathering campaign materials for 2019 8 Likes |

There are approximately 200m Nigerians which I doubt, going by the op calculations of 300M bags it means each person in Nigeria eats 1.5 bags of rice, this includes infants and children. Do you alone as an adult eat 1.5 bag of 50kg rice in a year talkless of a child ? Is it only rice that people eat ? I agree with op that the the government assertion that 15M metric tonnes were produced as a big lie. 11 Likes |

ProjectNaija:China produces 210 million tonnes that is 14 times what is being claimed and their population is not 14 times ours so it is very POSSIBLE. The issue is whether it is true which can be established not by calculations or baseless analysis but facts. Personally I have no idea if it is true or not but it is very possible. Our young people go to school but do not learn logic or how to debate and think emotions are a good substitute for logic. How much land is needed to produce 15 million tonnes and at what yield per unit of land. How much land is under rice cultivation I Nigeria? Those are the facts you need to bust the government "lies" not emotional twaddle HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE A CHINESE FAMILY OF SIX TO eat the 4.2 billion 50 km bags they produce or is the Chinese government lying too. The Nigeria government could be but you have done NOTHING to demonstrate that 4 Likes 2 Shares |

omonnakoda: india is the world highest exporter of rice.. if Nigeria should produce that number of rice Nigeria would feel the effect. like great rice pyramid. do you know what just 1 million bag of rice pyramid would look like. let assume a bag is N10,000 wholesale, then multiply with 1,000,000 bags. N10,000 × 1,000,000 = N10,000,000,000 N10,000,000,000 × 300 = N3,000,000,000,000. that's 3trillion, about half of annual budget transaction took place. some of the things Nigerians will notice, example are job creation, price of rice will crashed, the farmers or manufacturers will have hips or pyramid of unsold rice which by now can be verified, there will be lack of storage capacity by farmers or manufacturers or wholesalers. by the way, all the rice consume last year December were all foreign, everybody i know all bought foreign rice, so show us the rice. 8 Likes 1 Share |

HAH:None of this has any analytical value . It is just GIST This applies to the person you quoted, It is sad that Nigerians don't know how to debate Why bring God into it. Will that add value to what you said? Whether it is true or not has nothing to do with what people eat. It is very very possible. The question is IS IT TRUE? Weh cannot establish or debunk it based on what you wrote. China produces more per capita than us (assuming the claim is true)and they are the NUMBER ONE IMPORTER OF RICE 3 Likes 1 Share |
