Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola has unveiled the locally produced”Ofada Osun Rice”, which places Osun among major rice producing states in Nigeria.
Aregbesola who visited farmers at Onilapa Rice Farm Ogbaagba earlier in the week, reiterated his government’s commitment towards ensuring adequate food production for self sustenance of Osun State, emphasizing the need for Nigerians to feed themselves.
AgroNigeria recalls that Lagos and Kebbi in December 2016 launched a rice christened ”Lake rice” which was jointly produced by the two states, nine months after both governments signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to produce 70 per cent of Nigeria’s rice requirements.
