It is difficult to sustain production now because of the scarcity of paddy,\u201d Abubakar said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs I speak, I know many millers that have completely closed their factories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThose that are yet to close, because they still have limited paddy in their reserve, cannot operate 24 hours. Like me, I have reduced my production to 12 hours because I don\u2019t have paddy. By implication, several workers will be rendered jobless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhere ever you see paddy now, you buy it at an exorbitant price and you will still be compelled to face the high cost of fuel, pay tax, and electricity bill. How many factories would survive this hard economy? The only hard way now is, the cost of finished rice, which Nigerians will soon face.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Abubakar added that a larger percentage of integrated rice millers in Kano are presently sourcing paddy at an exorbitant price running to N400,000 per tonne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Northern Chamber of Commerce Industry, Mines, and Agriculture (NACCIMA) says rice millers are shutting down operations in the commercial city of Kano due to the scarcity of paddy.
