BUA Foods, a prominent player in the Nigerian food industry, has reaffirmed its dedication to supporting rice farmers and ensuring affordable rice prices in the country.
In line with its goal of promoting food security and national development, the company has decided to maintain the prices of its BUA Rice products.
This decision is driven by the success of its upgraded rice mill in Kano, which has a capacity of 200,000 tonnes per annum and utilizes locally sourced rice paddy, the company said in a statement.
One of the key factors enabling BUA Foods to maintain prices is its reduced reliance on foreign exchange for rice production.
By emphasizing the use of local agricultural resources, BUA Foods not only supports Nigerian farmers but also contributes to the nation’s self-sufficiency in rice production and other food commodities like sugar and flour through backward integration.
The news of BUA Foods’ commitment to affordable rice prices has generated excitement among distributors, who anticipate further price reductions as the company has consistently done with its other food products.
BUA Foods’ steadfast dedication to promoting sustainable food production and its focus on enhancing the Nigerian agricultural sector have earned recognition and appreciation from stakeholders across the industry.
With its upgraded rice mill and parboiling plant, BUA Foods is poised to meet the growing demand for high-quality rice while maintaining its commitment to excellence.
The company’s efforts extend beyond production, as it actively builds strong relationships with farmers, empowers local communities, and contributes to the overall development of Nigeria’s agricultural landscape.
By taking this fresh perspective, BUA Foods demonstrates its pivotal role in supporting rice farmers, promoting food security, and driving sustainable agricultural practices, positioning itself as a leader in the Nigerian rice industry.
