[quote author=vaxx2 post=83892806] You are notoriously grasping at straw, and I don't know why you are doing these. it seems to me , you don't even understand your own argument. it is unnecessarily unproductive to import what a nation does better . who in its right head import crude oil to Nigeria. Ghana didn't place banned on cocoa beans stop lying but naturally no one will venture into such trade since it is unproductive to do so. during ivory coast civil unrest, Ghana was the gateway of ivory coast cocoa beans to Europe. Banning product across liberal country aren't meant to be protectionist but on security or sanction purpose. liberal country don't banned product related to trade, they rather work on competitive advantage . trade aren't done blindly ..... To ban imports from China would be to ban participation in the digital economy. There are very few computers, smartphones, and other digital products that aren't made in China. By dominating the manufacture of electronics, China has made i |

The government understands it needs to worry about productivity of farmers. This seems similar to policy India used to increase agriculture output. I just hope they dont pigeonhole themselves sourcing exclusively Nigerian producers when they can import. These sort of initiatives should be led by private sector. The government should see what incentives can be offered. While still speaking, Nanono said “Already, we are planning to establish service centers across the 774 Local Government Areas across Nigeria, where farmers can access improved seed and other farm inputs. 1 Like

It seems the border closure isn't helping rice production like I believed. The productivity problem has to be addressed before Nigeria becomes sufficient in rice. Nigeria's rice imports are set to grow this year. Agricultural data specialist Gro Intelligence, however, put Nigeria’s rice output at 4.9 million tonnes in 2019, up 60% from 2013 but well below local consumption of 7 million tonnes. According to the FAO, less than 1% of Nigeria’s farmland is irrigated, compared with a global average of more than 20%. Experts say there is little hope of improvement without significant investment in irrigation, mechanization, roads and storage. More than 12% of rice is also wasted due to poor roads and inefficient harvesting, milling and storage, consultants KPMG said in a review of the Nigeria’s rice industry. 2 Likes 1 Share

Blue3k: Blue3k, a question I would like to ask is that what happened to all the money the cbn has been giving out as loans to rice farms. Why are the initiatives by the govt still yet to bear fruit ? |
Re: Increase Rice Production with Mechanization instead of border closure by Blue3k(m): 5:37pm On Jan 23, 2020 |
urahara: The policy didnt bear fruit because the core issues Mechanization hasn't been addressed. Nigerian rice production grew mainly vecause more land is dedicated to cultivation the CBN is recovering it's loans. I still need to file a FOIA request to get the exact details of whats percentage of the loans went into default.
