Policy options for modernizing the milling sector
2016
Johnson, Michael E.
The objective of this chapter is to assess the potential for transforming and modernizing the domestic rice milling sector in Nigeria using a mathematical programming model. More specifically, it seeks to address a number of key policy questions: Are there differential abilities and efficiencies among existing mill types (small to large) to supply the domestic market? Given the differences , what is the likely path for transforming the sector into a modernized agro-indusrry in order to better compete with imports and meet domestic demand? What would be the welfare implications, especially for rural employment? To answer these questions, a survey of the literature, field data, and use of a spatial equilibrium rice milling model were adopted.
