Nigeria’s Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Audu Ogbeh, says 90 per cent of the rice consumed in the country is produced locally.
Ogbeh revealed this on Tuesday April 16th at the 2019 Annual Research Review and Planning meeting, which held at the Balarabe Tanimu Conference Hall at the Institute for Agricultural Research (IAR), Zaria, Kaduna State.
Ogbeh, who was represented by Karima Babangida, the Director of Extension Services in the ministry, said this was achievable to local producers because of the massive backing they received from present administration, noting that the country is shifting “to eating what we grow, rather than eating imported food’’.
He said: “One very good example that we see today is the home-grown Nigerian rice. Hitherto, Nigeria has been a major and largest importer of rice from Thailand and this implies largest importer in the world.
“But today, we have been able to achieve a paradigm shift in the right direction and we are now producing 90 per cent of the rice we eat in the country, I think we should appreciate our farmers here.
“Nigeria does not only have the capacity to feed itself, it also becomes a major actor in agricultural exports to other African countries, Europe and American countries, including the Far East, especially China.”

tested to see if it can survive a thirty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad
is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is totally
off topic but I had to share it with someone!
Heya i’m for the first time here. I came across
this board and I find It really useful & it helped me out a
lot. I hope to give something back and aid others like you helped me.
Superb post however , I was wanting to know if you could write a litte more on this subject?
I’d be very grateful if you could elaborate a little bit more.
Bless you!
Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems
as though you relied on the video to make your point.
You obviously know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to
your site when you could be giving us something informative to read?
I believe everything posted made a bunch of sense. But, what about this?
what if you were to create a awesome headline? I am not saying your information isn’t good, however what if you added a post title that grabbed people’s attention? I mean We Produce 90% of
The Rice We Eat – Minister Of Agriculture is a
little boring. You could glance at Yahoo’s front page and see how they create post titles to get viewers interested.
You might add a video or a picture or two to get people excited about everything’ve written. Just my opinion, it would bring your
website a little livelier. adreamoftrains website host
