The group said that
by 2018, locally processed rice would be exported to other countries
which in turn will create jobs and generate foreign exchange for the
federal government.
Dr. Emmanuel
Ijewere, the group's coordinator and vice president, while speaking as a
guest at the monthly forum of Nigeria Association of Agriculture
Journalists, NAAJ, in Lagos said that with the level of activities going
on in rice production, Nigeria should have enough to consume and start
importing by end of 2018.
The Vice-President
also stated that Nigeria is now self-sufficient in cassava production,
while the group is ensuring production value chain with the cooperation
of the government. He noted that end products like ethanol, sugar and
renewable energies are now derived from cassava.
The group, he noted
is also experimenting with tomatoes and the value chain inherent.
According to him, work is going on with Dansa tomatoes plant in Kano
where locally made tomatoes paste will be produced for consumption and
exportation.
He dismissed the
claims of some tomatoes paste importers that the type of paste being
imported is not found in Nigeria. "Nigeria is blessed with soil that can
grow any type of tomatoes. What they import is 'triple concentrate'
which is not good for consumption." He said.
