Building on the progress of the first NRDS (2010-2018), which led to a significant reduction in imported milled rice, this second phase aims to rapidly transform the sector by mitigating constraints and improving domestic production to meet and surpass national demand by 2030. The strategy is structured around six core Priority Areas, including increasing paddy production and storage, ensuring access to quality seeds, expanding the use of mechanization, upgrading processing and marketing, improving access to financial services, and strengthening policy coordination within the Federal Ministry of Agriculture.","type":"pdf","status":"published","access_level":"public","author":"Agora Policy","tags":"Policy Document","file_path":"documents\/i1VCAbc0uiDLahYgVlyyvmbPzFrLhhg240RcZ4tA.pdf","file_name":"NATIONAL RICE DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY II (2020-2030).pdf","file_size":1322003,"views_count":0,"downloads_count":0,"published_at":"2026-04-16T00:00:00.000000Z","deleted_at":null,"created_at":"2026-04-16T18:34:12.000000Z","updated_at":"2026-04-16T18:34:12.000000Z"}
