Modern rice production and processing for the Nigerian domestic market, contributing to food security.
AADC's rice production operation addresses Nigeria's significant rice deficit through modern, efficient production and processing systems. Our integrated approach encompasses the entire value chain from seed to market, ensuring consistent quality and contributing to national food security.
With both wet season (rainfed) and dry season (irrigated) production capabilities, we achieve two harvests annually, maximizing land utilization and providing year-round supply to the domestic market. Our modern milling facilities produce premium quality rice that meets the highest standards of the Nigerian consumer market.
Optimal temperature range of 20-35°C and distinct wet/dry seasons create perfect growing conditions for high-yielding rice production.
Reliable water supply from the River Benue with regulated flow from Lagdo Dam ensures consistent irrigation throughout the year.
Alluvial soils with excellent water-holding capacity create ideal growing conditions for rice cultivation.
Strong and growing domestic demand with a 3-4 million metric ton deficit, supported by import substitution policies.
