Another Rice Mill Established In Akwa Ibom by Jerryz2050PMG(m): 5:25pm On Apr 09, 2020
ANOTHER RICE MILL ESTABLISHED IN AKWA IBOM

Governor Udom Emmanuel's desire in ensuring food sufficiency in the state is receiving a boost with more private investments springing up in the state. The latest SACAM AGRO PROCESSING MILL LTD at Nung Udoe Itak, off Uyo-Ikot-Ekpene highway in Ikono. The mill produces a unique parboiled brand of rice, Three Rose Rice.

The advent of the new rice mill which compliments the earlier comissioned one, Ibom Agricon Rice, is part of the fulfilment of the policy drive of Mr Emmanuel's administration to produce 80% of food needed in the state.

It was gathered that the state government has offered to offtake several volumes of the produce for the state population as part of its efforts to cushion the effect of the Quarantine and Restriction of Movement Regulation in the state.

The Permanent Secretary, Government House Dr. Nathaniel Adiakpan, Special Assistant on Research and Documentation Essien Ndueso as well as the President of Akwa Ibom State Traders Forum, Akparawa Idorenyin Raphael

The owner Mr. Samuel Okeke, a business man from Ebonyi State said the factory currently produces 350 tonnes of rice per day or 8 trailer loads of rice daily and has been distributing the product as far as Anambra State, Abia State and Rivers State in addition to the market in Akwa Ibom.

The Company's MD told newsmen that his decision to site the mill in Akwa Ibom and Ikono in particular was in response to the friendly business environment created by Governor Udom Emmanuel here and owing to the fact that there is a steady power supply in the area. He said he is enjoying at least 22 hours steady electricity at Nung-Udoe itak.

A 25 kg bag of rice produced as the mill sells for N 9,250 with the 50kg going for N18,500.

Low productivity

You can have factories as much as you like, if there's shortage of raw materials there would be low productivity.

We grow less rice and we eat more of it... The demand is much and supply is minimal so the little available definitely would be expensive.

Because the Nigerian situation defies all known laws of Economics, especially the laws that are defined by Demand and Supply. It's a strange occurrence!

My brothers, I suspect I might be banned again for revealing the truth about this govt and definitely nairaland has been paid to censor information getting to the citizens,

I just posted a topic where I revealed with reliable source how the nig govt has obtained loans from the chinese govt with about 10% of the oil fields in NigerDelta used as collateral but the topic was deleted grin grin ;, we have fifth columnist amongst us on NL working for the FG.
