Plateau rice

Plateau is the twelfth-largest state in Nigeria.Approximately in the centre of the country,it Is geographically unique in Nigeria due to it's boundaries of elevated hills surrounding the jos plateau it's capital and the entire plateau itself.
Plateau State is celebrated as "home of peace and tourism"due to it's geographical uniqueness and geographical structures in the  middle belt of Nigeria.
The city has a population of about 900,000+ residents based on the 2006 census.

The first Samaritan love foundation has initiated a number of ideas and policy initiatives in the last few decades to boost rice production and processing in the  state.
Despite these initiatives the state government review the rice production and milling sector in the state due to it's research and observation about rice which is seem as an increasingly important crop in Nigeria.
It Is relatively easy to produce and is grown for sale and for home consumption.
In some areas there is a long tradition of rice growing,but for many,rice has become part of the everyday diet of many in Nigeria.

First Samaritan love foundation sees rice as one of the major important foods, consumed by the rich and the poor,as Africa's most populous country seeks to feed it's rising population.
Even as the choice of food keeps changing and diversifying in the  country,rice remains at the  base of what Nigerian would consume on any regular day.
Rice has weaved itself into a critical part of some of the most favorite foods in Nigeria,with some of the most popular rice dishes including the famous jollof rice (cooked rice with spiced tomato paste):plain rice that accompany many stews:coconut rice and many more varieties.

Rice is plateau most important food and cash crop,providing vital food security and farmers incomes more than any other crop according to the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
The state is leading consumer and the first biggest producer in Nigeria and the second largest importer of rice In the country.
Realizing the key role that rice plays in the Country economic,food chain and food security situation,the Government Of Nigeria (GON) has probably attempted some of the most well-known,often Criticized,policy interventions to improve domestic production and reduce or eliminate importation of rice over the decades.
