Yes, according to reports, Nigeria is set to begin rice exportation in 2022, as announced by the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Dr. Mohammad Abubakar.

The minister made this announcement during a meeting with stakeholders in the agricultural sector, where he revealed that Nigeria has made significant progress in rice production and processing, making it possible to export the commodity.
