01
The market
Demand in Nigeria
Nigerian demand runs overwhelmingly to parboiled rice, typically in 50 kg bags, for both retail and wholesale distribution nationwide. Buyers are specific about grain colour and firmness, and they buy on repeat schedules rather than one-off lots.
What decides a supplier relationship here is not the first container but the fifth — whether the specification held, whether the paperwork arrived ahead of the vessel, and whether the schedule was kept in a difficult month.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Which grade should a first container be?
For most Nigerian buyers, 5% or 25% broken parboiled in 50 kg bags. Tell us the price point you need to hit and we will say plainly which of the two reaches it.
Do you quote CIF Lagos?
Yes — CIF Apapa or Tin Can, or FOB from an Indian port if you have your own freight arrangement. Both are quoted on the same specification so you can compare properly.
