Nigeria bag of rice could as well use as concrete for the construction industry since it has lots of stones in it.

Until this is change, we can't say we are producing rice.

Kukuma just learn how to clean your rice by yourself. Or set up an industry cleaning the rice.
Stop waiting for government to do anything in this country.

For every 50kg bag of rice, 25kg na

How can local rice go as high as #22,000 per bag, it is not encouraging at all.

That is extortion.
Re: Concern Over Low Quality Of Local Rice by blackjack21(m): 1:43pm On Jan 21, 2020
Officialgarri:
Much of Nigeria's problem lies in our business men who seize every little opportunity to extort his own brothers

First, how can a bag of rice be as high as 20k?
A bushel (25kg) at the rice mill is 5-5.5k while 50kg is 10,500
De-stoning is #200 per 50kg bag
And a packing bag is maximum 200

In all, a 50kg bag will cost #11,200
Note: if you are buying in a large quantity as a business man, it would be discounted
No local means of Transportation will charge upto 5k per bag. So no excuses for transport.

This is a point where I think there should be balance between Capitalism and government intervention.

If the machines for cleaning rice are expensive, let the government bring the machines into the country and let's eat foreign standard rice.
At least I know of a state government that imports construction equipments and hire it out to her own contractors.
Transport is 1k per bag from Kano to Lagos

I don't know where you all get your rice but Abakaliki rice does it for me. It is mostly stone-free and also very affordable, contrary to the report up there. I prefer local rice to foreign rice but let me sample the opinion of others.

Which do you prefer, hit LIKE for Local Rice, hit SHARE for Foreign Rice.

I don't know who needs this but if you are In need of CAC company registration, Business Name registration, Trustees, NGO, NAFDAC number on your products etc, talk to us at www. Lawlab. Com. ng
The interesting part is that consultation is free of charge. Yes! Free of charge.
Trash.
How many Rice do they even Farm in Abakalili? The Rice produced in Abakalili alone can not feed a ward in Abakalili.

Bighead, you sound so pained. I don't know what you are passing through at the moment, but what I can tell you is this "stay strong". You could use a hug from a loved one right about now.
Re: Concern Over Low Quality Of Local Rice by Bankowner: 2:12pm On Jan 21, 2020
A 25kg of Nigerian rice packaged as foreign rice was given to me in December. Even without opening the bag, you’d know the rice was local because it looked dirty through the bag.

I wasn’t home when my wife opened the bag but I noticed she had packaged the rice in small quantities with the intent to give them out. Her reason was that the rice was the lowest grade of local rice and she wondered why anyone would give that as a gift. I was a little upset that she did so without consulting with me so I insisted we would cook the rice first before a decision was finally made.

The water from washing the rice was like water taken from the gutter without the smell, even I got a little anxious because I knew I wouldn’t hear the last of it if the rice turned out bad. Lo and behold, to my wife’s and my surprise, the rice turned out wonderfully. Not 100% like foreign rice but I can comfortably give it 9/10. I guess it’s the knowledge of how to cook it that matters. Not too much water so it doesn’t get soggy or over cooked.

Lack of machine to destone and polish. And right now, the difference in prices of both foreign and local is not that much again. That means the demand for local will drastically reduce again, back to square one.
