Rice Grains
Rice is one of the most consumed staples in Nigeria, with consumption per capita of 32kg; and consumed by about two-third of the world’s population. This simple grain has been a popular life-sustaining food for thousands of years because it is nutritious, versatile, economical, easy to prepare and tastes good.
A complex carbohydrate that fuels the body with energy, rice is low in calories, has no sodium or trans-fat, is a good source of vitamins and minerals and is gluten-free.
Nigeria is the continent’s leading consumer of rice, and also one of the largest producers of rice in Africa. Rice Paddy production in Nigeria increases to 8.4 million tons in 2019 by FAO STAT.
