“One bag is N58k”: People rush man selling rice which he produced by himself
A trader stated that he can deliver his rice sacks to any location in Nigeria and is offering them for N58,000 apiece. After Haidar Abdullahi Gaduwama posted it on X, a ton of people flocked to his account and expressed interest in making purchases.
In Nigeria, the price of rice and other food staples has increased dramatically as hardship and inflation become more severe.
The man wrote on X: “I sell this 50kg parboiled Nigerian made Rice, Long grain and stone free for 58k only. DM if interested, let’s do business.”
It was also gathered that the popular blog, Legit.ng spoke with him, and the man claimed that he produced the rice himself in Hadejia, Jigawa state.
His words: “Firstly, we farm our Rice in Hadejia, Jigawa state. But we also buy paddy rice from local farmers across the state, then process and package it for sell. I guess my rice is cheap because I farm it, process it and package it myself without any other party involved. Its like a direct labour so it cuts many unnecessary costs.”
Haidar, who said he started a rice business in 2021, noted that he is cheaper because others are selling between N65,000 to N68,000. He said the Nigerian rice is good since it was processed the same way as the foreign-made ones.
“We processed and polished it exactly like the foreign rice because it’s stone and dust free and also long grain.” – He added
