Still creating bottlenecks,,,,,,,,,naijaaaaa

Customs have started again...

Secondly, what is all this bullshit about the need for importers to own a milling plant with a capacity of at least 100 tons per day, operate for at least four years and have enough farmland for cultivation? 100tons/pay is approximately 2000 bags (50kg) production per day. If we truly have mills that are already producing 2000 bags per day, do we need to import again? What sick country is this?

As in ehn, conditions that if it were present and many, we won't be where we are, unless it is to favour one or two individuals sha

dimgbajwe:
They have started. The 40 thousand naira bag of rice they say they will sell where is it today?

Be calming down....the policy just took effect yesterday.....so more people can have access.....govt have been providing rice at subsidised rates but the people receiving are round tripping it to sell @70 to 80k.

Nigerians are very terrible people,that's why govt now seeks to liberalise it and have genuine businesses bring it in so it can rich more people and govt stops wasting money subsidising rice for some few to feed fat

Which kind condition be this?

RecessionistPMB:
The effect of this policy will be too negligible to be felt.

The cost of transporting these items will erode any perceivable price reduction.

Whatever has gone up is usually difficult to come down in Nigeria.

There is imota mill in ikorodu Lagos that can feed the entire SW and there is a port terminal in same ikorodu......it should cost not more than 2,000 naira to transport 50 kg to and from that mill in Lagos.

This guidelines are detrimental to the policy. Most times, our problem is not the policy or law, it's the implementation of it.

Now, some groups have already influenced the NCS to create a monopoly over the importation and by extension limiting competition. This will in turn affect the supply chain and ultimately, the price of the products.

Our NCS is an evil organization.

Newyorkitis:
How will this bring down the price of rice if it has to be milled here in Nigeria? These people don't understand what it means to govern.
Those of us that have done rice cultivation knows that if I mill 1 bag of 100kg rice, I might end up with 75-80 of rice.
Who then suffers the loss?

Bulk husked brown rice is cheaper than the finished one.....the good thing is that business men would be the once importing themselves and the competition would balance out prices.....anybody can now go and bring into the country and sell at your own price.

Why should we ever have to import food?
Why can't we feed ourselves?
And in addition be exporting food?

We have crude oil we are importing petroleum products!

We have fruitful lands we can't feed ourselves?

And we say we got Independence!!!!

Are we jinxed?

Why are you in the city and not on the farm,so you expect tinubu to go to farm food for you?

Mikelarteta:
These idiots will still find way to frustrate you when you bring these food stuff in. They are the reason so many of us stopped car and importation business. Very wicked people

No bi only sir. Many people into importation just abandoned it all bcs or useless harsh policies

What proportion of the cost price will be mitigated as a result of this action? At this juncture, it is imperative to maintain transparency; otherwise, the objective will be compromised.

ewedunamala:
Seriously , a good move. But the brown rice things is not good at all. Another method to screen out and sidelines the importers from yeast in the business.

Too bad. It should be on level play ground like other importations

what is good about the move, didnt you read all the clauses and condition Custom use to dilute the initiative

how many plants produces 100 tons of rice a day in Nigeria , automatically these waivers can only be acccessible to very few mega players the same ones that hold Nigeria hostage .. so expect nothing to change

we thought buhariwas Wicked but these Tinubu is evil ... how can the president give a clear directive and the custom boss will tweak and read his own if not that Tinubu only played Nigerians

It's better for me not to talk this morning.
Thank God, I've nothing to invest emotionally in this joke of a country again: I've accepted the inevitable.

Dumb rulers leading naive ppl into a new slavery by their new masters: china and India.

Keep on playing games now. In the next 15 yrs, your children will be cursing you every morning for selling them into slavery.

I'll keep kwayet jàre.

1. I have my farms though l live in an urban area. Just harvested my maize!
2. Sometimes I wonder how some of us reason. Did my post ever suggest that Tinubu should come and farm for me?
3. Do you have your own farm?
4. Serious governments promote local farming to prevent hunger in the land and not depend on importation.
5. If other countries don't farm and have surplus how are we going to import from
them.
6. How safe is the food for our consumption?
7. When are we going to stop this culture of being mere consumers instead of being producers and exporters with added value?

What's husky brown rice again 😏

I am glad you mentioned you are a farmer......you should be able to better understand the problems we have in our agric sector.....we have been retrogressing in agric for decades we barely could provide enough to feed ourselves.

The govt is to blame largely,I agree but people trying to place all the blame for the current food crises we are having is totally unacceptable to me.

Are these people calling themselves government or government agencies clueless or their greedy ways.
Why must they be driving us back to the same people that are milking the nation dry.
The same people that hide and hoard are foods are the ones that can meet up with these their stvpid guidelines

After 150 days what next no long term plan for food security?

Why are you always crying of victim

East not even top the importation of food especially rice

No am not crying. Just saying that offsprings of headless morons will always vote and support an imbecïles in power because they have same genealogy.

Morons and imbecïles can never different between development and embezzlements. Even owambe is seen as youth empowerment.

Many Easterners have rice mill, the biggest rice mill in Akwa Ibom is owned by an Easterner. Coscharis, Seaman and others have rice mills in Anambra state

“It is pertinent to note that the implementation of this policy will focus on addressing the national supply gap. To participate in the zero-duty importation of basic food items, a company must be incorporated in Nigeria and have been operational for at least five years. It must have filed annual returns and financial statements and paid taxes and statutory payroll obligations for the past five years.

“Companies importing husked brown rice, grain sorghum, or millet need to own a milling plant with a capacity of at least 100 tons per day, operate for at least four years and have enough farmland for cultivation. Those importing maize, wheat, or beans must be agricultural companies with sufficient farmland or feed mills/agro-processing companies with an out-grower network for cultivation.

Stupid people.

Exactly and they should not bother involving in this new important plan. They have been enjoying the monopoly

That’s why they called it democracy
Everyone can’t vote one candidate or have you heard it before
Even if Jesus come to Nigeria today , he won’t be loved by everyone, just know this and have peace of mind

The analysis is solid and concise
