About the product

In view of the demands that rice imports make on Nigeria’s limited foreign exchange, the country aims to double its production by 2005 and become a net exporter of rice by 2007. Rice production increases will inevitably have environmental impacts, which must be minimised through proper management. This study includes an ex ante assessment of the environmental consequences and suggests sustainable options to accelerate rice production.
