Aliko dangote to become worlds top rice exporter by 2021 afdb president

I think there may be some misinformation here.

Aliko Dangote, a Nigerian businessman, has indeed made significant investments in the rice industry, particularly through his company, Dangote Rice Limited. However, there is no credible evidence to suggest that he will become the world's top rice exporter by 2021, as claimed by the African Development Bank (AfDB) President.

While Dangote Rice Limited has made significant strides in increasing rice production and processing in Nigeria, it is still a domestic player and not a global leader in rice exports. According to the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), the top rice-exporting countries in 2020 were Thailand, Vietnam, India, and the United States.

It's possible that the AfDB President may have made a statement or prediction about Dangote's potential to increase Nigeria's rice exports, but it's important to verify such claims through credible sources to avoid spreading misinformation.

In any case, it's worth noting that the African Development Bank has been supporting initiatives to increase rice production and self-sufficiency in Africa, including through investments in agricultural infrastructure, research, and development.
