Rice Production In Nigeria Hits 15 Million Tonnes — Official by Ratello: 11:22am On Dec 26, 2017 |
Local rice production in Nigeria has now reached 15 million metric tonnes annually, the government has claimed. It said the development means the country will now be saving about N300 billion it used to spend annually on importation of the commodity. The Director of Agriculture at the Kano office of the Federal Ministry of Agricultural, Muhammad Adamu, made the claim on Tuesday while inaugurating the Rice Millers Association of Nigeria, (RIMAN) in the state. He said in Kano alone, 1.2 million metric tonnes of rice was produced in 2016. He said with the significant increase in local productions and the efforts to make the local variety qualitative and more attractive to Nigerians, the country expects to begin exporting rice to West African countries by 2018/2019. Mr. Adamu said about 34 states in Nigeria are producing rice, with many now producing three times in a year. He disclosed that investigation carried out by the Federal Government revealed that rice imported to Nigeria are 10-15 years old and and are preserved with chemicals which can cause cancer to consumers. In his remarks, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Rice Miller’s Association, Peter Dama, said, the association was established to promote local milling of rice that is fresh, healthy and nutritious. He said the association is willing to collaborate with the Nigeria Customs Service to stem smuggling of expired rice into Nigeria. Mr. Dama added that the association intended to work closely with regulatory agencies and policymakers to ensure standard in local rice milling. The Customs officer in charge of rice enforcement, Ado Hassan, warned that Custom officers caught conniving with rice smugglers would have themselves to blame. He said that in less than one year, the zonal command of the agency confiscated 800,000 bags of rice in Kano and Jigawa states. He said about 9000 bags of the rice are still in the stores of the agency, adding that most of the rice were being given to internally displaced persons after been certified fit for consumption by the National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control, NAFDAC. https://www.google.com.ng/amp/s/www.premiumtimesng.com/agriculture/agric-news/240287-rice-production-nigeria-hits-15-million-tonnes-official.html/amp 9 Likes |

15 million tonnes is equivalent to 15 billion kilograms which when divided by 50 (standard bag of rice measure of 50kg) will amount to 30million bags of rice. That is one bag of rice for every 5 Nigerians. Big fat lie again. 39 Likes 1 Share |

GworoChewinMaga: I think this is the correct analysis; 15 million tonnes is equivalent to 15 billion kilograms which when divided by 50 (standard bag of rice measure of 50kg) will amount to 300 million bags of rice. Using 200 million as our populations, that is 75kg bag of rice (that is one 50kg and one 25kg bags of rice) for each Nigerian.....kai this is hilarious! 14 Likes |

Another official lie and propaganda! Local Rice production has increased but the market is flooded with foreign rice, with no reduction in the price of rice in the market! How can local rice production or general food production increase when Fulani herdsmen are ravaging farmlands and killing farmers. 2019 fast approaching, expect more of this kind of official lies, deceit and propaganda. www.worldriceproduction.com May God help Nigeria and Nigerians! 9 Likes 3 Shares |
