“…Their result for imported rice differs from our results. Furthermore, our results are related to studies that used the AIDS model and found significantly positive expenditure elasticities for rice in Nigeria (Ojogho and Erhabor, 2011;Makama et al, 2017).…”

“…Rice is an important staple food in Nigeria, with about 180 million people estimated to consume nearly several million tons of rice annually (Fakayode et al, 2010;Ojogho and Erhabor, 2011;Grow Africa, 2018). The production and consumption of rice, specifically the locally cultivated rice, has been taking place in Nigeria for a long time (Akinbile et al, 2008).…”

“…While the current paper is not focused on government rice policy, understanding how government rice policy might affect households requires knowledge of the value attached to rice consumption as well as the elasticity of the demand for rice by the household. Ojogho and Erhabor (2011) used a sample of 812 households in three Nigerian states and found that rice makes up the largest share of household total food expenditure, ranging from 21 and 28 percent for high-income urban households, while for rural low-income households it is about 24 and 28 percent. The second perspective is that rice demand in the country is very high and has led to increased import demand (Grow Africa, 2018;FAO, 2018).…”

The paper analyzed the demand for imported rice, local rice, maize, and other cereals in Nigeria. Using the second wave data of the Nigerian Living Standard Measurements Survey -Integrated Survey on Agriculture, it employed the Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System model for empirical analysis. The result indicates that the imported and local rice are proved to be normal goods. However, imported rice is a luxury item while local rice is a necessity. The compensated and uncompensated own-price elasticities for imported and local rice are negative, indicating that an increase in ownprice will decrease its own-demand in line with the law of demand. The estimates of uncompensated cross-price elasticity show that imported rice and local rice are complements in Nigeria. Finally, the study represents an effort to disaggregate food demand analysis to obtain useful information on price and other factors determining the demand for specific foods. Contribution/ OriginalityThis paper is an attempt to provide information on the demand for locally produced and imported rice in Nigeria and their views as either necessity and/or luxury commodities, across the different income quintiles, as well as in urban and rural areas across the country using the Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System model.

“…Compared to the young, older adults are less interested in using information and communication technologies. According to a study by Nyamba and Mlozi (2012) [13] , younger respondents in Tanzania were more likely than older respondents to use mobile phones to acquire information. Another element that may affect the utilisation of information technology is household size.…”

This study delves into the multifaceted factors that shape the integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools within the agricultural landscape, focusing on rice farmers in Southwest and North Central Nigeria. The adoption of ICT tools in agriculture holds immense potential for enhancing productivity, sustainability, and overall socio-economic development. However, understanding the determinants of this adoption is crucial for effective implementation. The research employs a comprehensive approach, combining surveys, interviews, and statistical analyses to unravel the intricate web of factors influencing ICT tool adoption. Socioeconomic variables, such as education and income levels, are scrutinized alongside infrastructural aspects like internet accessibility and power supply. Additionally, the study explores the impact of agricultural extension services, farmer-to-farmer networks, and governmental policies in shaping farmers' attitudes towards ICT adoption. By focusing on the specific context of rice farming in these two regions, the research aims to draw region-specific insights into challenges and opportunities. The findings of this study will not only contribute to the academic discourse surrounding ICT adoption in agriculture but will also offer practical implications for policymakers, extension services, and technology developers. Ultimately, this research endeavours to provide a nuanced understanding of the dynamics at play, offering valuable insights that can inform targeted interventions and strategies to foster the widespread and effective adoption of ICT tools among rice farmers in Southwest and North Central Nigeria.

“…During the 1960's, Nigeria had a per capita annual rice consumption of 3kg which increased to an average of 18kg during the 1980's, reaching 22 kg in the latter half of the 1990's (FAO 2002, andAkpokodje, et al, 2001). Also, within the decade of the 1990's, Erenstien, et al (2003) reported a 14% annual increase in the demand for rice in Nigeria, but is currently 32.0Kg and 25.8Kg per capita in urban and rural Nigeria respectively (Ojogho and Erhabor, 2011). With total annual rice production at about 2 million metric tons, it is the fourth largest cereal crop grown in the country behind sorghum, millet and maize (Babafada, 2003).…”

The study examined a time-series analysis of Nigeria rice supply and demand with a view to determining any long-run equilibrium between them using the Error Correction Model approach (ECM). The data used for the study represents the annual series of 1960-2007 (47 years) for rice supply and demand in Nigeria, derived from the World Rice Statistics compiled by the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI, 2009). The order of integration and the level of co-integration were determined using the Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF), Johansen co-integration and Granger causality test. The result of the descriptive statistics showed that rice supply and demand had means of 1.8 and 1.6 million metric tonnes respectively with a demand-supply lag of 0.18 million metric tons. The Trace test indicated one co-integrating equation at the 0.05 level of significance while the Granger causality ran one-way from supply to demand. The result of the ECM shows that the coefficient of the short-run and long-run relationships between rice demand and supply were 1.102963 and-0.043497 respectively. There is disequilibrium between Nigeria rice supply and demand in the short-run but re-equilibrates at 0.043. Thus, the more the demand for rice, the higher the production is expected in order to avoid any shortage, in the short-run, which though will always even out in the long-run. Nigeria rice supply-demand exhibit disequilibrium in the short-run but has a long-run equilibrium.
