Strangely locally produced rice that was suppose to encourage local production and drive the populace towards locally made produce,has only had the opposite effect. It has not only increased the price of the foreign rice astronomically but is now more expensive than the foreign rice.

As at today local rice selling @ 86k while the foreign is @ 82k long grain.

What's really happening?how did we get to this point? Its scary and sad

You don consider cost of water, electricity, transport, etc., wey be part of production cost for farmers? You don consider say your farmers too dey pay rent, dey suppose make profit wey dem go also use pay their utilities, children school fees, buy other food chop— no be rice alone dem dey chop? Abi, you think say an only you get life wey require funding? Or you think farming is done by farmers for fun? undecided

Because the stones and sands in the rice 🍚 not only gives it a locally unique taste but also makes it feels crunchy in the mouth while eating cool, something that is not common with the imported rice... cool cool cool
