Nigeria’s Border Closure Hits Hard On India, Thailand Others by wwwihy: 2:57pm On Oct 23, 2019 |
Nigeria’s border closure is hitting hard on India, Thailand others The rice exporting countries are heavily reliant on the Nigerian market Reports say the wholesale price of top exporting countries fell on product glut resulting from a decline in exports A report by Business Day indicates that the closure of Nigeria’s land borders aimed at curbing smuggling activities, especially of rice, has taken a toll on rice-exporting countries. According to the report, the price of the commodity dipped by a joint 46 percent in one month in countries like Thailand and India. President Muhammadu Buhari had on Wednesday, August 21, ordered the closure of the Seme border. Between that period and September, the wholesale price of the broken parboiled rice, the species in top exporting countries fell on product glut resulting from a decline in exports. In India, the wholesale price dropped from $0.64/kg in August to $0.40/kg as at 30 September of this year. In Thailand, the price of the commodity declined by 9.2 percent in the review period. Data from both Thailand and India, which previously accounted for up to 90 percent of Nigeria’s rice imports, show legal imports to the country have declined at the same time. Meanwhile, there are fears that Nigerians may buy a 50kg bag of rice for as high as N50,000 in December 2019 if the land borders remain shut by the federal government. Already, the price of rice by 86% to an all-time high of N27,000 per 50kg from N14,500, an indication that local rice farmers do not currently have the capacity to meet local demand in the country.

Now I can understand why Thailand was asking us a few days ago to open our borders. ![]() ![]() I thought geography has changed and Nigeria is now sharing borders with Thailand and India. My understanding of map reading in secondary school days is still valid. ![]() ![]() 145 Likes 10 Shares |

So the latest news is that our border closure is creating a global butterfly effect. Asian countries are now being hit hard. India? Thailand? If we're buying so much rice, what percentage of the rice we're consuming are we really producing locally? 40 Likes 1 Share |
