YES, Nigeria is Africa’s Number One Rice Producer But…
While it is true that Nigeria is currently Africa’s foremost producer of rice, Nigeria didn’t attain this height because she increased her local rice production. Rather, Egypt which was Africa’s highest producer of rice, purposefully reduced her rice production due to the scarcity of water. Besides, Nigeria is still the world’s third highest importer of rice with 2.2 million metric tons — behind China (4.5 million metric tons) and Philippines (2.3 million metric tons)!
