If it would still be more expensive than Foreign rice (like much of the other packaged nonsense local rice brands), then it makes no sense.

If it's not Thai rice it's not the same quality and should cost significantly less.

Wickedfacts:


5,0000kg transported to Lagos unbagged is same as 5,000kg transported to lagos bagged. Same transport cost.

That is a lie, it is not the same cost. the unbagged rice will take up more space and there would be more cost. If you must know logistics cost in Nigeria is one of the highest in the world because of bad roads insecurity state taxation and settling of touts, security agencies via road blocks. It would have been more economically viable to site the plant close to the rice farms.

RhodaNelly:
Please how much does the rice go for per 50kg?

Official price not out yet

Tareq1105:


Rice farmers in the south west sell to Lagos while Lagos will complete the process to bagging.

But the agreement is with Kebbi state government and not SW farmers.

This is massive.

Lol e surprise me tho. But it's refined rice , you should know the difference bt local and refined .

MasterTeeUSA:
The greatest threat to Nigeria is Ignorance

The APC administration had one plan in stages.

- Research centers and seed developments. We have created seeds that can reach its full growth in half the time partnering with Israel and other countries. APC Buhari Govt have also invested in international training for our young farmers.

- Transport to move goods and services (Eko DeepSeaport, Cargo Airports, Rails and Trains, BRT and Roads

- Build processing centers so we won't be exporting cheaper unprocessed foods and be buying imported food. Lagos is building the largest storage and certification center to export food abroad.

- Diversify - Focus on Agriculture, Gas pipelines under construction, and crude oil

- Last leg is mechanized farming and commodity trading...you can't expand agro farming without storage, transport and processing.

The goal is to have Nigeria, the largest economy in Africa, feed the rest of the Africa. We have the funds, our democracy is more stable, we have our guy as the head of AfBank and our lady at the World Trade. We definitely don't informed media, so you have to do research to piece all these things together.

when you are ready to stop lying to yourself please let us know.

It was developed by the Lagos state government and it will produce rice that hate filled Igbos like you will feed on.

Correct bro..Gba sibe The problem is...na this i.pig go wan dey bag fake now...lagos needs to plan against this oio

Tareq1105:


It provides employments to Lagosians.

Look for how long will it be feasible. the additional cost on logistics of moving the paddy from the north if it is transferred to the customers, will lagosians afford it? again if you decide to export it will it compete with Asian and American rice that will have higher quality and affordable price?

BrickDevo:
Nice

Let's be sincere, everything good in lagos is privately owned from foreign investors and local businessman nationwide doing big things in lagos.
when you look at what the government owns and runs, that is if you find any it is a sorry state.

But yet someone is saying he built lagos.

He attracted foreign investors how?
With no electricity
No security
Bad roads

Man cannot fix electricity in a mega city with internal generate revenue of 60 billion tueh!

Nah just common sense you no get, is it not Obasanjo that is parading upandan a failed presidential candidate like himself, stopped the IPP Tinubu was trying to establish that Time, if you don't know something ask or just keep mum.

62 years to set up a local rice mill. Nigerians don't really know the level they should be by now

grandstar:


Is it financially sound producing the rice in Kebbi and then transporting it down to Lagos to be sorted and bagged? I think it would have better situated closer to the farms, to save on transport costs.

Lagos government can't use Lagos money to build rice mill for kebbi citizen that will provide jobs for kebbi citizen when we're the ones paying the tax lol.

tollyboy5:

Heard it's 55k .

What is the normal price for bag of rice in the market?

Heard where? Any source?

Make OBILIE too do these for East make we see am.

Daft, ignorant, ethnocentric jingoists
full Nairaland ☹️☹️☹️

Wickedfacts:


You're intelligent. Moreso, it allows Lagos to rebag both foreign and local rice by virtue of proximity to the port.

Bagging foreign rice has already defeated the purpose of the rice revolution. if it is to just bag then you only need a warehouse and packaging equipment and not all these destoning machines and silos

seunmsg:

My uncle works at local government. That's what he told me just now on family group.
Incase you get another source make we know.

Let me ask you, 1kg if wool and 1kg of iron, which is heavier?

For where? Leave Lagos ke... They can't leave o or else they will die of hunger. Lagos is their paradise. They can never return to their states once they enter Lagos... Wetin dey their mud and erosion land? The ones that are still at home are dreaming daily of how to enter Lagos...
Na their transport fee never complete... Ungrateful people!

I don't know why Afonjas (Yorubad people) are dull and stupid. This is another Tinubu's personal investment from stolen funds. Tinubu is a slave master and Afonjas (Yorubad people) are slaves.

That is not the logic. Unbagged rice is in Tons. it will have more capacity and space which will impact on the cost to transport. Look my guy you are not in logistics, as any transportation expert they will tell you.

Free your mind from jealousy, bitterness and hatred. This will go a long way in shaping your thoughts.

They also manufactured an imaginary 2NB too.
