Abstract

The study examined the effect of Policies on Rice Production, Importation and Consumption in Nigeria. The data were mainly from the secondary sources and they were time series data covering 1981- 2005. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. The findings show that in the first era of the ban period ( 1986- 1990) a large quantity of rice of about 2,216,060 tonnes was produced with less rice importation of about 288,800 tonnes and more quantity of rice was consumed at this period ( about 1,572,700 tonnes) which later increased in the Second Era compared to the Pre- Ban period. This increase spilled over to the Post- Ban period except in the Second Era where average rice production decreased to 3,139,400 tonnes showing the effect of policy inconsistency in the county. It was also shown from the result that the higher the average quantity of rice imported the lower the average quantity of rice produced and the higher the quantity consumed in the country. The study recommended that rice importation should be banned to encourage local rice production in the country.
