jclassiq:


you don't understand. they overtook Egypt because Egypt's production dropped by 40%.

Egypt production dropped, while Nigeria was able to take over due to tremendous improvement in agricultural sector.

nextstep:


So Egypt reduces their production by 40% because of water-conservation concerns, and suddenly because of the numbers, Nigeria by default rises up in the ranks of rice producer and for some reason this is due to Buhari? Abeg.
Then next year when they restart full rice production, we will say what?

Next year when they start, Nigeria would have been the largest producer of rice in the world.

You are right so it is with other brands. The farm is in Nassarawa state.

Re: Nigeria Overtakes Egypt As Largest Rice Producer In Africa’ by luluosas(m): 7:17am On Mar 05, 2019
Really? Why is rice still above 17k in the market? By the way, I am yet to see any rice bagged as MADE IN NIGERIA. It's only foreign manufacturers I am seeing
Re: Nigeria Overtakes Egypt As Largest Rice Producer In Africa’ by luluosas(m): 7:19am On Mar 05, 2019
Made in Nigeria, or Indonesia? By the way, what's the name of the rice, which state did you buy it?

Commendable!
This is the kind of news we needed on FP.

You can’t see the rice because you are blind to the truth, in Anambra alone Coscharis has about 10,000 hectares of land for rice farming with a mill also there’s another about 7,000 hectares in the same area with its own mill..it’s a good time for rice farmers....

I know banker colleagues who resigned and went into rice cultivation. This is one area even opponents of this govt can attest to. Unfortunately most of our grains are being smuggled to other African countries for higher prices. I believe the Agricultural revolution is real and only a Buhari would have taken the hard decisions necessary for such growth.

Things will only get better.
where is the rice,please?

Last year alone, Kebbi State celebrated crossing over the 1 million metric tone production benchmark. This year is going to be almost double that. And that's for Kebbi state alone. Ebonyi state is fast increasing capacity too. I don't know where you reside but, in these parts, seeing foreign rice in the markets is the strange thing. There's a variety of stone-free (Nigerian rice) on EVERY stand in EVERY stall you can find. The reason why some of the big Thailand rice producers have started opening processing plants in Kaduna and Kebbi (please google it), is that they are beginning to recognize the increase in capacity of our local production.
Sorry bro. I have no record from Google of Thailand rice producers opening processing plants in Kaduna & kebbi

Things are not working under PMB, at least today we are proud that our railways is working, agricultural sector has picked up, some few graduate can manage 30k every month better than nothing, hopeful if things continue like this we will get there.

This is true.
I wish to congratulate the Government who initiated the route that led to this.

Although let's not over blow it, it was embarrassing that Egypt produces more than us.
1. Nigeria is like 3 times more populated than Egypt hence we normally should gap them wella.
2. Rice is a more primary food in Nigerian diet than Egyptians. It's like congratulating Lagos for making more Amala than Enugu does.

Meanwhile what a rational government should do, is instead of banning importation of rice, make Nigerian rice better, cheaper and healthier, then let's see how Thai rice will sell.
...but a government of Cows will close the boarder against rice which is primary Nigerian diet, without putting in place facilities that will carter for the shortage.
Hence they import rice illegally through unthinkable unethical, even poisonous process.
Laslas na to kill us been dey their mind.

Plus it's not like Nigeria increased its production


See the reason

1.So why is China not leading the world in rice production since they are populous nations. What has population got to do with rice production? Is it every soil that can support the growth of rice or every climate?
2. You failed to tell us what they eat in Egypt, plus agriculture is not all about consumption, I might even decide to go into it just for export purposes.

Do you understand the concept of an agricultural revolution or any revolution at all? if you do u will understand why it is necessary to prevent importation of Rice and other things we can produce locally.

If Nigeria had not increased its production, what has it done? do they even include Nigeria when discussing rice markets even in West Africa before Buhari administration? Appreciate things, it won't kill u or make u less

I have a pharmacist friend who ventured into rice production in Osun state 2 years ago. Got grant from FG to mechanize and expand his capacity. I was amazed when i saw pictures from his harvest. Good things are happening around us for those who can see and take advantage of them.

China popular consumption is spring rolls
Egyptian consumes macaroni, lentils, and chickpeas
China has better things to export rather than rice.
