Nigeria is the largest rice-importing country in Africa and one of the biggest rice markets in the world. With a population exceeding 220 million and a growing urban middle class, demand for imported rice remains consistently high. Pakistan is a competitive supplier with IRRI-6 being the dominant imported variety due to its affordability, long-grain quality, and cooking characteristics that suit Nigerian cuisine.
