The Nigerian were having a discussion with a Mexican from the SanCarlos Company, the Mexican selling agriculture as a business to the Nigerians .
The Mexican went on, he was making good volume exports from Enugu, his dollar cost were lower in Nigeria than Mexico, he exports and earns same dollar per tonne for Pineapple.
The Nigerian millionaires were still not convinced
The Nigerian millionaires were not convinced
The Nigerian millionaires were not convinced
The Mexican got an A for effort but he was facing a tough crowd.
So when the Federal Government, with the backing of the President decided to pool Nigerian billionaires & invest in the Nigerian economy, no one bothered to invest in a Rice or Wheat mill.
Why?
I believe its a perception issue. Agriculture is viewed in Nigeria as hard work, rural, & not a business.
Dangote can't do it all alone
