This November, 2024, 50kg bag of foreign rice is sold for huge ₦90,000 while Nigerian rice is sold for ₦85,000 due to the unstable economy and only wealthy citizens could afford eating rice on daily basis.

But situation got better during the previous year as the government laid some emphasis on locally-made agricultural products.

As result of government’s zeal to totally eradicate the importation of foreign rice, some states of the federation were agriculturally empowered so as to increase the production of rice across the country.
