Hello everyone and welcome to my beautiful writing on how I got to discover that Nigeria is the leading rice producing country in west Africa..In sub-Saharan Africa rice ranks fourth in production after sorghum, maize and millet.

It contributes over 20% of the total calorie intake of the human population.
