The Anambra rice pictured after production in the factory
According to a report by Channels Television, the Governor Willie
Obiano-led Anambra State government, says it is increasing efforts to
close the gap in Nigeria’s rice production and emerging as the third
largest producer of rice in the nation making efforts to shift its
revenue source away from crude oil sales.
Photos making rounds online and on social media, shows that the
state is stepping up in its bid to be the largest producer of one of
Nigeria's most common foods in the country.

It was gathered from online sources that the Anambra State rice is
now in circulation in Awka Market, Onitsha, Aba, Abakaliki, Uyo, and are
currently selling at N9,000 per bag as against the N17,000-N20,000
which other foreign rice sells in the market.
