Banning importation of rice into the country is one of the best decisions made by this government even though they have failed us woefully. However, a seemingly rational and needed decision such as the ban has made life miserable to a large extent. You don’t ban importation without massively following it up with implementation of policies that helps local production. Rice is still expensive because of the cost of production and some opportunists likewise other produce. If only Government is sincere with these policies, then we should have started reaping the benefits of border closure by now. 1) Provide free or very low cost inputs eg seeds, improved varieties, free lease of machines. 2) Subsidize processing and production machineries. I approached the bank sometimes ago for forex on Agro processing machineries to aid local production but was grossly disappointed 3) Make grassroots friendly agricultural policies. Not ones that are feasible online but unattainable to those not connected. 4) For those who managed to fund themselves to start up something, what will be their fate after borrowing to start the project for produce hitherto imported. 5) Border closure isn’t enough, logistics and transportation plays a huge role in cost of production. 6) Farmers to end users connection should be promoted so that farmers can earn premium income for their sweats. I can keep naming it but border closure without adequate plans has subjected us to unprecedented and untold hardship. God help us. 31 Likes 2 Shares |

The man has used the Benue State money to cultivate hundreds of privately owned hectares of rice which he is expecting to sell at 25k per bag. All his farm workers are under the payroll of Benue State government. This is the same governor who has enslaved his people as he could not pay the 18k minimum wage, talk less of 30k. He & Kogi state governor have been competing over the position of the worst governor in Nigeria. Remember, a few years back, he empowered his youth with brand new wheelbarrows!! 10 Likes 1 Share |
