Thats why you don't ban importation in a country without price control. If importation is allowed, they will have to either compete with international price. |
Re: Locally-produced Foods Now More Expensive Than Imported Ones by Johnpat198: 12:36pm On Apr 13 |
Our leaders course all this problem we are facing no protest on skyrocketing of price, our government don't set agent force to monitor price control, everybody buy and sell what he or she likes, what a woefully country |

Kilo of meat that was 5k last week is now 6k this week, even the suya seller has increased prices. So why should Nigerians be happy that dollars has come down when it has no impact in their lives Open the damn borders for food to come in even if for a fixed period to bring down prices 1 Like |

How does 3rd party farming work pls wittywriter: |
Re: Locally-produced Foods Now More Expensive Than Imported Ones by Mandate1: 12:39pm On Apr 13 |
wittywriter:every Nigerian mustn't go into agriculture before Nigeria will have food. Agriculture has gone beyond the 18th century approach Nigeria is adopting. In USA, less than 5% of her population are into agriculture and yet feeds the entire nation accompanied with surplus for export. My question remains, why are our multi billionaires not venturing into agriculture? They have the money to establish large plantations but won't do so. Giving small loans to farmers will never produce enough to feed the nation. The rich billionaires in Nigeria should go into mechanised agriculture. This is where govt must come in. Encourage investors to go into the agriculture value chain with little or no tax at all. 3 Likes |

This is the one I can't seem to wrap my head around. How can I buy a small yam 2.5k for one tuber and 3.5k for one big tuber. I left it and went for sweet potatoes. I am not a fan of both yam and sweet potatoes at all. I just buy it cos most times I need to as having food varieties BABAawoo47: |

Akwamkpuruamu:don't mind the dude. Dem go just dey shout Nigerians should go into agriculture like say if everyone go into agriculture, who will do the other jobs left behind. In saner climes, less than 10% of their population are into mechanised agriculture and they are food sufficient, yet export in large quantity. Every billionaire in Nigeria is into oil. You'll neva hear any of them in the agro-allied sector. This is where the govt should give tax reliefs to divest more billionaires into the agro value chain. What is the govt doing to encourage companies into food processing to backward integrate by investing massively into agriculture? A country with little or no seriousness to make inroads. |

How can locally produced goods cost more than imported goods? This is clearly price gouging. I am now on the side of those who want to see the borders opened for virtually everything. Let local goods compete with foreign goods freely. This attempt of trying to support local producers has dealt a deadly blow on Nigerians and I don't want to hear anything about it again. Open the borders. |

A simple analogy so long insecurity is not curtail and farmers can't go to farm expect the worst of months ahead. |

One mango is now 100 naira. Should it be so? Fruits are getting more expensive. Please, plant friots in your house. As you are building your house, don't cement the floor of the compound . Plant Pawpaw, Banana, Mangoes , Oranges in your compound. Seedlings don't cost much. When the trees mature, you can make money every season on each fruit by selling to people in church and in your area .Think deeply. Plant sweet guava, tangerine etc. Fruits will keep getting expensive. Cheers. 1 Like |

If you have unused plots of land, do some farming on them. Subsistence farming is a form of exercise. Rain has started falling. Find an aboki that can make mounds for you. Plant maize, cassava, pepper and vegetables. You can make money with a plot of Cassava and Maize. Get very good seeds. Cheers . |

This is nothing but greed and Nigerian are our own enemy. If you buy a product a week earlier then go back to purchase that product the price will surprise you. I think the government should bring up price control scheme to control some traders |

Point of correction. Rice is now 63,000. I keep saying it, we Nigerians are very wicked we are our own problems. Aber Government should open the border let's other foreign African food be coming in like Ghana garri ETC |
