Nigeria’s rice importation rises by 400,000 tonnes – US report November 6, 2018 Blueprint Nigeria imported three million metric tonnes of rice in 2018, which is 400,000 metric tonnes more than the quantity of the product imported in 2017, according to the 2018 United States Department of Agriculture World Markets and Trade Report. The report also stated that Nigeria’s local rice production dropped from 2016 to 2018 compared to 2015. The report is contrary to several claims by the Nigerian government that local rice production has increased while importation has dropped by up to 90%. �The report, released in October, showed that since 2016, Nigeria had consistently milled 3,780,000 metric tonnes annually – a drop from 3,941,000 metric tonnes recorded in 2015. Similar news Anambra has over 1,000 gully erosion sites - Commissioner It also stated that Nigeria recorded a higher consumption of rice in 2018 at 6,900,000 metric tonnes – an increase of 200,000 metric tonnes over the previous year. The report also stated that global rice milling production for 2018 was 487,759,000 metric tonnes; a drop of 3,758,000 metric tonnes against the 491,517,000 metric tonnes recorded in 2017. The report said, “Global rice production rose in October 2018, due to a higher crop yield in India, partially offset by a reduction in rice production in Egypt. “This is nonetheless still lower than the prior year’s record. Global consumption by comparison, is marginally higher. Trade is largely unchanged as higher imports for the Philippines are mostly offset by lower imports for China. Similar news Fidelity Bank presents N3.2bn dividend for shareholders ”�The report listed Brazil as the top producer and consumer of rice in the Western Hemisphere. A significant import market, Brazil also became a net exporter as in 2016. Due to higher supplies in 2018, Brazil has reverted to its position as not only a net exporter but also as the top South American supplier to the global market. “Brazil is forecast to export one million tons (milled basis) in 2018, declining to 850,000 tons in 2019 due to increased competition from Paraguay, Guyana, and Argentina. https://www.blueprint.ng/nigerias-rice-importation-rises-by-400000-tonnes-us-report/ Note: Rice Production Rates In Nigeria (2017) - 3.7 Million Metric Tons Rice Production Rates In Nigeria (2018) - 3.6 Million Metric Tons! Rice Consumption Rates In Nigeria (2017) - 6.7 Million Metric Tons Rice Consumption Rates In Nigeria (2018) - 6.9 Million Metric Tons Percentage of Rice Production In Nigeria (2017) - 49% Percentage of Rice Production In Nigeria (2018) - 51% (if 5% yearly additional production is factored in) Nigeria is still the biggest importer of rice in Africa till date! Osinbajo openly lied that Local Rice Production In Nigeria amounts to 90%! Behold the truth about Nigeria's Rice Production and Consumption rates as as 2018 while the year 2019 is still under review! 2 Likes |

We won't make progress if we keep deceiving ourselves. Audu Ogbeh was bragging how this government rice policy has reduced importation of foreign rice. The other day Fashola said some Nigerians now enjoy 24hours power supply when we all know that power generation has dropped to less than 3000MW. 1 Like |

Nbote: Come on now, you aren't slow. If the last 3 years has witnessed an upswing in investments in rice mills, common sense should tell you there is a demand for the mills, and obviously a rich supply of the local feedstock. If coscharis and other investors have keyed into rice production and milling, it therefore means local production is increasing. If local production is increasing, how can imports be increasing at the same time? Does it mean our population is increasing exponentially daily? 1 Like 1 Share |
