Nigeria’ll begin rice export next year, says CBN


Before the end of 2017, Nigeria will begin to export rice to other countries, the Central Bank of Nigeria has said.
The Acting Director, Corporate Communications, CBN, Mr. Isaac Okoroafor, said this on Tuesday during a sensitisation/awareness programme for farmers in Bayelsa State under the apex bank’s Anchor Borrowers’ Programme.
Okoroafor, who said the ABP had started yielding fruits, insisted that with the progress so far recorded by the CBN through its agricultural financing policies, the country would begin to export rice by next year.
