This write up contains a list of major rice processing companies in Nigeria that are considered the best that produces more than 10,000 metric tones of rice.
The presence of rice processing companies in the country has seen rice production in Nigeria skyrocket within these few years. Since it is the plan of the Federal Government to boost Nigeria’s chances of becoming a leading force in food production not only in Africa but in the world, it is not surprising that rice has now been cultivated in large quantities to satisfy both local and international needs.
With this, the agricultural sector will aid in creating wealth for rice farmers, generate income for the government, diversify the economy from oil and reduce unemployment at least to a minimal level.
Eating locally made rice has proven to be highly nutritious when compared to its foreign counterpart. The only pitfall here is that local rice is quite expensive than imported rice, hence people tend to buy processed foreign rice.
The government on its part has tried to make this most consumed food affordable to all in the country. The collaboration between Lagos and Kebbi (two major rice producing states) to sell a bag of lake rice for N11,500 is seen by many as a welcome initiative to make this crop available to all.
Furthermore, the establishment of more rice producing companies in a bid to increase milling capacity of local rice grown within the country after harvest. These mills will produce and process up to 100 tones of rice per day. Most of these mills are owned by top rice processing companies engaged in both rice cultivation and harvesting.
