• Nigeria is the largest rice producing country in the West African region.
• By 2002, the country accounted for 57 % of the total rice producing area in
West Africa.
• Potential land area for rice production in Nigeria is between 4.6 million and
4.9 million ha.
• Out of this, only about 35 percent of available land area is cropped to rice.
• Rice yields are however low even by West African Standards
Introduction
4. The Paradox
Nigeria is the largest importer of rice in the world
The annual demand for rice in the country is estimated at 5 million tons
Domestic production accounts for 3 million tons
Imports account for about 2 million tons
Between 1990 and 2002, Nigeria imported 5,132,616 tons of rice
In 2002 alone, the country imported 1.882 million tons of rice.

On the average an extra cost of 25 percent is needed to process domestic rice to the
quality and standards of imported rice
Improving the standards of local rice is feasible and desirable, but it may not be
competitive for local rice mills

How competitive is local rice ?
The table compares the domestic prices of paddy and milled rice in Nigeria with the
international prices of the worst grade rice (white broken rice, Thai A1 super, f.o.b
Bangkok). If we assume that exchange rates in Nigeria reflect market forces (which is
unlikely especially in 1993), then Nigerian domestic rice is expensive to produce
(compare paddy prices) and expensive to process (milled rice) and so cannot compete
in the international market.
15. Optimal distribution in domestic rice trade
Domestic rice markets are
shrinking due to rice imports
The closer the demand market
to the supply zone, the less
optimal it becomes with
increase in transport cost
The marginal cost of non-
optimal supply of rice from
small processing mills
increases with increase in
transport cost

• Period of tariff 1995 – 2005
Domestic self sufficiency
in Nigerian rice production
was adversely affected
during the crisis years of
1977 – 1985
Self sufficiency in rice
production is still a major
challenge for Nigeria to
date
17. Conclusions
The demand for local rice in Nigeria is far less than the
demand for imported rice
Local rice production costs are high and uncompetitive
Improving the post harvest quality of domestic rice is
critical but can only be achieved if production costs are
low
Local transport costs for rice output are sticky
downwards at least in nominal terms
18. Policy Interventions
Intensify rice production and increase on-farm yield to
reduce production costs
Improve quality and standard of rice and reduce post
harvest losses
Facilitate rural enterprises and businesses especially in
small mills to sustain productivity, incomes and
employment
Strengthen human and institutional capacities to produce,
process and market rice competitively in Nigeria
The challenge to transform cassava into a more competitive crop is not an easy one. One of the aspects in which CLAYUCA is working is on the adaptation of mechanized practices that have been developed by the very efficient cassava production systems prevailing in South Brazil. Prototypes for planting and harvesting cassava are now available. CLAYUCA imported and validated them now under Colombian conditions. Very important economies are obtained when these mechanized systems are implemented. In planting operations
