In east Africa you mean to say.

Never mind his spurious claims,I wholeheartedly take them with a pinch of salt.

Stop heckling. Use NEPA generator power wisely.

Ghana total tea import is half a million dollars per year

Look for something else in your food debate

That's what baffles me exporting tea to Ghana, Ghanaians are not tea or coffee drinkers.

Kenya import of cocoa and cane rat is zero. Look for something to export to Kenya - even if it's kente dress - so far we have positive trade balance - batteries and tea

Just40:
childish as usual

rvp2018:
Ghanian company ordered for Tea. Tea is most consumed beverage after water in the entire planet.

I thought you were happy to host AFCTA? Not happy to trade?

Nigeria's top imports... Refined petroleum products take almost 1/3 plastics not included.
And someone was arguing yesterday that a huge refinery would be a curse than a blessing
I'll say it again, in few years time we will start exporting avaition fuel to Kenya

Just40:
you have to trade something worth while than tea...

It has no value here

rvp2018:
Half a million dollars is a good place to start - Send us the cane rats.

Just40:
kid be logical... Of course you know that even that half a million dollar market won't go to just you especially when Unilever is producing here.

All of Kenya export are of no use to Ghana... So you will have to start producing things that better serves Ghana needs

rvp2018:
Unless you're going to increase oil production otherwise the export will fall by almost the same amount that import will fall; cost of refining is 3-5 dollars a barrel. That is what you'll save plus other petroleum products if Dangote goes into that.

In short dont get over-excited - the value chain from crude processing is not a game changer.

But it sure will eliminate the national shame of being only OPEC country to also buy refined fuel.

Fourpockets:

Just stop being hateful for a minute and you'll understand:
- Nigeria exports oil and imports refined oil which demands scarce FX.
- This refinery will make Nigeria to stop importing the refined oil and intact, Nigeria will become a net exporter of refined oil which will give give us the much needed FX.
- At the end of the day, Nigeria will export the excess crude that we produce which the refinery can't finish refinering in a day. And also export the excess refined crude that Nigerians can't finish consuming in a day which is over 100,000 barrels of refined oil.

That is what Afcfta is about

Something tell me you're a Ugand or Tanzania type of market with very limited manufacturing.
Already you're ordering batteries.
Your manufacturing is where kenya was 30yrs or more ago

rvp2018:
I am never hateful
First you are not meeting your OPEC quotas.
2ndly you will lose forex when some crude is diverted from export to Dangote.
Right now you're doing 1.3-1.5M bpd - if Dangote takes 650,000 - you will have to reduce export by half.

Now two scenarios
1) You increase oil production - meet OPEC and then have more for Dangote - then you will BENEFIT
2) You dont - you only benefit from value addition of refining crude - that about a billion dollars - which Dangote is keen to capture.

Prospect of increasing oil production are remote - you're dropping in year when oil is at 140 dollars per barrel - meaning you have big problems

Kazikazi:
You are in the same levels with Ghana. Nothing you manufacture which can real make you shout like that. Your manufacturing industry is still in its infant stage. The only countries I believe can real make it in this game of industrialization is Tz,Egypt or Ethiopia.
kenya? No.
You have many issues which won't make u a manufacturing powerhouse.

Some of the things which your kenya and these other nations you busy argue with will struggle about are these..

Availability of cheap and reliable power
High labour costs
Lack of robust agriculture
High levels of government corruption

I can mention here tonnes and tonnes of reasons why u won't make it,but I chose those 4 big reasons why it will be hard for kenya and other African nations to enter into a real manufacturing business. Out of those 4 readons,kenya fails on all of them.Tz passes on almost all of them,so as Egypt and somehow Ethiopia. But the rest of you,bye bye,manufacturing have left you.Try something else.

You keep talking about us loosing Forex, while forgetting that we are loosing Forex already by importing refined oil

gallivant:


I don't understand what you are crying about. You thought it was just tea, I gave just but one example.
