摘要：In the past two decades Nigeria has experienced
serious food shortages, leading to the massive
importation of food, at an estimated cost of 441
million naira in 1976 and 1,106 in 1979 (Adesimi
1991).1 This in spite of the fact that most of the
nation.s land and labour are employed in the
agricultural sector (at present, 60%). Much of these
food imports consisted of rice, estimated at 650,000
metric tonnes in 1980 and 600,000 in 1982 (Kaung,
John & Alam 1985; Obiechina & Otti 1985). Rice
consumption per capita rose from 3 kg a year in 1970
to about 11 kg in 1980 (Obiechina & Otti 1985).
