And food isn't cheap including rice.

In Cameroon, food is the cheapest thing u can get...Foreign rice bought as glass cups makes u spend 17,200 FRS per bag(1 bag is 22,000 FRS)... While their local rice: Ndop rice (99% stone free) , is 13,750 FRS per bag if u buy with glass cups. They are the champion in rice production in Central Africa.... One has the choice of buying the very white imported rice or the local rice( turns out white too to some extent).

We are still lagging behind in Agriculture.

Of what use is this report to us when a common man in the same country cannot afford it. Tufiakwa!!

Did very well how...
The former minister for agric did wet better than adesina...
Which minister has more than doubled rice production... In short the way u see local rice today in every shop would have been a dream under adesina...
It not about who is more articulated..

openmine:

Akinwumi Adesina the current president of African Development Bank Group and former minister of agriculture during the administration of GEJ actually did very well!

Audio production

Good development. And believable so far it's not from the mouth of the Minister of lies.

All the cabinet members and the entire offices called federal government are all made from the fabric of lies ... That's why only liars make it to those offices

Its obvious this administration doesn't know jack about anything..

To say you lead in rice production is beyond stupid , where is china ,Indonesia and the rest ??

Stupid APC
Any body that voted for apc the 2nd time will suffer miserably

Herdsmen will not like this news. The cows need to eat the farmers crops too.

Make una dey deceive unasef.

the minister of AGRIC need urgent medical . . . . . . So he can get the figures right. How can we be #1 when Farmers are killed on daily basis by boko haram, fulani bandits, kidnappers, insecurity etc. Mr minister- LAIR- when last did you visit the market? Stores to purchase foodstufs? Most Farmers now leaves in ldp camps, they even pays taxes to bandits to allow them access to their farmland under the watchfull eyes of security agents. Another foot soldier of lai mohammed.

I am suprised at some people comment, you dont know that there is inflation in country, so you want farm produces to be cheap. Did you want to kill the farmers? every thing soar high in cost not only foods.

LIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHOW US PROOF HOW MUCH METRIC TONS YOU PRODUCE AND EXPORT

So what will chaina be doing then?

BigSarah:
Huge production? Who you dey sell am to?
This is fake news, as of yesterday a small tuber was still for 1200 talk less of the big ones

And the man has not shown us where the food berekete, so that a tube of yam is now 1K.
So why are they still expensive?
You should continue to deceive the gullible from your Abuja office!

why are they not affordable in the country then?

Data Source??

Yam that can not get to the United state of America… abeg you people shout getta

This type of lies can only come from the devil's mouth.

The worst a man could do to himself is to be deceitful......been deceitful to one self is so bad.

Awon oloriburuku!

I wonder how and why these guys manage to keep a straight face when they say things like this. Or ... Is it true that when you tell a lie long enough you start to belief the lie?

With the way they are going, Nigeria will soon have a new official native language but the truth shall prevail.

Bloody liers

liars not liers. You welcome

Yet the price of the commodity is high.

Not only the market women, it starts with the farmers, some intentionally harvest, store and create artificial scarcity so they can make more money.

Tinubuadvocate:
Those market women really making life unbearable for masses food isn't scarce in Nigeria.

Which rice Hmmm

Loverofpeace:
