joseph1832:bro, this is not theory. It's practical. Locally produced rice for now will be very expensive because we don't have enough to go round and Nigeria being a country filled with corrupt and opportunistic people will experience a hike in the price of the available little. Now imagine the Federal Government leaving the borders closed for another 3years,...lemme remind you that any business that brings in good money in Nigeria will be 'flooded' till the business crashes or becomes less profitable. What I am trying to say here is that, with the kind of money farmers will make during this period of border closure will encourage many more people go into farming...and before you know it, there will be more than enough to go round...and before you know it, farmers will be struggling to get people to buy their own... Bro, this is beyond corrupt Nigerians. It's a natural thing. The price will crash. 17 Likes 1 Share |

festacman: Your point on big brother Africa and South Africa/ US examples have no logic in this context. Firstly, the rice exporters know most of the rice exported to Benin is for Nigeria. Secondly, the importers are investors, importers and business men in Nigeria. Thirdly, a bag of rice in Lagos now cost between 18K and 19K per 50KG bag while Derica tin poor man buys between 220 and 250 naira now cost between 350 and 400 naira and still increasing. This is the imported rice price and the only rice in traditional local / open market. In South West, South South and South East Nigeria where I spent months on local rice availability research, there is no Lake, Olam or any other locally produced rice in the open market. Coscharis may make rice available in the East but not yet. There is no GLUT in the rice production sector in Nigeria, no availability in the market. The President, NSA and Customs CG are all from the Nigerian Army, I think the Staff College, War College and NIPSS courses in those days were very defective about management. I also noticed the inclusion of Niger border closure is just a camouflage. I don't want to dwell on that today. South Africa is too developed to be affected by economic policies of the frontline States. The US concerns herself so much about the welfare and wellbeing of her citizens. US cannot ban importation of rice to protect Arkansas farmers or rice mills in the US when there is a shortage. 6 Likes |

midolian:you say there isn't enough locally produce rice to go around that's why it's expensive, right. Now since there isn't enough to go around why didn't the government wait for there to be enough to go around before they close the border. Think about it, there isn't enough local rice to go around and it's expensive, now that the border is close what do you think will happen to the little local rice that is around? The price will triple and who will bear the burden? There are business that brings in good money that will never be flooded because the capital to start it is something else. The federal government is making a very big mistake with this move. I hope you know the price of chicken have gone up now? 3 Likes 1 Share |
