This is rather harsh and does not reflect the reality on ground. If you know just a little about that industry you will commend them highly. It's a highly strung sector with obstacles on every side. Any time the Naira suffers it directly impacts on them. Perhaps you do not know that virtually ALL materials used in the production of bread is imported at some level.

Reference:


Wheat is not a tropical crop.
Even the highly genetically modified varieties adapted to warmer conditions struggles to yield in these parts.Very few countries have the geographical latitude to cultivate every staple or every cash crop out there.
If I remember my geography right, I think it is only the United States that has both tropical and temperate climates suitable for everything from wheat in the north and middle, palm in the south and citruses in sunny California.

No country is self sufficient in everything.
What nations do is to dominate where they have comparative advantage and use those gains to subsidise imports. Why are we not dominating where we are naturally endowed?

Your education at all levels was qualitative and will yield results. It's the few people like you on Nairaland that gives us hope. It can't be so bad after all.

If there's no wheat then we have an alternative. We can use Cassava. It will also boost our local production. Our local farmers from the North will make more money.
are you talking about the farmers that are being killed by iswap?

Nigeria is a scam , a liar by nature
I worked as shipping agent b4, any slid opportunity they use d advantage on mass
in fact most of the wheat imported to Nigeria is from Canada and Argentina , especially Canada with highest wheat exporter
So all this useless Nigeria bakers are killer to the mass today

Your post smacks of bitterness and it is lacking in objectivity.

Wheat is not of the same species globally. Millers use different variables in deciding which specie of wheat they prefer to import. Some of these millers (the really big ones) have gone ahead to establish their own gargantuan farms in wheat friendly countries.

While Canadian wheat does account for some our wheat imports if is by no means the highest, as a matter of fact they are not even the second largest partners in this regard. USA is our largest wheat supplier followed by Russian farmers. Canada is a distant third. China is recent making serious inroads in the wheat supply chain.

Please also note that the volume o import keeps changing to reflect the changing dynamics of he business especially the profitability component.

Bread prices are not increased and even fixed arbitrarily. There is a cascading process that permeates the entire supply chain. Wheat is imported with forex, milled into flour using equipments whose parts are sourced with forex. The operation is even supervised by expatriate professionals paid using forex. The flour is then transported using imported diesel to the market and thee baker then buys at wherever price competition places the product at.

He then buys other products like butter (imported), yeast (imported), preservative (imported) packaging (imported) runs his generator with ported petrol and repairs his imported equipment with imported spare parts. He must still pay salaries, deal with NAFDAC, state govt. Local Govt......and yet still turn a profit.

Perhaps you should get closer to bakers......you could then understand their pain.
Mind you,bakeries are closing down everyday.

Stop eating bread. Simple.

Or consume cassava bread.

One of these days Nigerians will learn to appreciate what they have.

Sadly a lot of Nigerians do eat bread daily. I don't understand it but the bakeries are always busy and when the price of bread goes up rather than stop buying people complain and buy.

You're right, we have plenty in Nigeria that can be eaten instead of bread but Nigerians are hard headed.

the many false constitution and not common sense is what is killing African countys like nigeria else how can state govt with large arable land mass especially in the north not develop it for crop production and how can oil producing regions not refine their crude oil for sale?

So the greedy middle men are at it again..without issues in Russia, price of bread was increased now they want to use this to their wicked advantage...the way price of everything is skyrocketing, it will take grace for some families to feed!!! Did the price of water increase anywhere that even road side manufacturers of "pure" water also increased the price of one bag from 200 per bag to 350?? The government can't be blamed for everything but i blame them for not having stern rules against the hike of prices of goods and commodities..imagine we hoping on russia so we can eat bread....na wa o
Why do you think they don't have stern rules? Because they caused the inflation by bad policies and practices.

Hthe North farm alot of wheat.
yeah, i am in the north. rice is more profitable. one hectare of land for wheat may bring at most 23bags with good agronomical practices while the same size of land for rice can bring 80bags. and then finding offtakers for rice is far easier.

I think you are replying the wrong person.
It is not about the number of sanctions but the amount involved.
Which amount is involved in China that is greater than that which was imposed on Russia?

I told zomenzombies here that this war will affect us more,the mumu terrorists head slammers were shouting America burn, Israel burn,Ukraine burn hahahahah cheesy cheesy.. una Almajiri population go soon increase.. same way many of them supported Boko Haram in the early days and attacked Jonathan for fighting them, but today who is crying?

That's why I don't pity these people because they enjoy evil and when the evil kills them it's their own business... For you info if this war explodes,northern Nigeria will be worse than Afghanistan and Iswap will take over...

Our man power trekkers and Agbo committee should meet with their other trekking Herdsmen counterpart up north and stage a protest in Abuja as usual against Israel... cry
I agree with you sir. All these kids on NL, supporting Putin and regurgitating right wing propaganda, I have a question for you all. If what Putin is doing is so great why are RUSSIANS protesting against him? They do not research, they read nothing without an emoji yet you want to come to a public forum and be proud of their ignorance. I guess most of them surporting Putin are rational and illogical. Most likely headslammers or members of APC.

Russia has it's own cards to play... No nation would see a Russian oil of $50 (discounted) and pick OPEC of $120 when it's not their fight, same goes for wheat according to the article and other products it majors in.
