Nigeria has overtaken Egypt as the largest rice producer in Africa. Nigeria now produces 8 million tonnes out of the Africa average of 14.6 million tonnes of rice annually. Egypt used to produce 4.3 tonnes annually but suffered a decline of almost 40 percent in the last one year.

When was the border closed and how long does it take to farm rice?? Audio rice everywhere....

Im skeptical about that 8 tons figure. That means Nigeria is completely self sufficient in rice and more than doubled production. If that muxh rice was produced it would show in price decline.

I'm curious . Was rice consumption in the 60s low because Nigerians were damn too poor to afford rice or was it low because Nigerians didn't really fancy rice then ?

Exactly. These numbers must have been sourced from the same place Baghdad Bob used to get his own fictional figures.

Normally it should be a thing of joy oo, but it's so defficult to believe this Buhari people with their data.

If it's true, I'm happy. If its false we should work hard and achieve it. Thats all
