Ogun State Governor, Senator
Ibikunle Amosun, launched a local brand of Ofada rice tagged MITROS Rice,
lamenting the continued importation of agricultural products.
The governor said the rice
production would boost food supply, reduce dependency on imported ones while
the mill will create jobs for farmers in the state. He, however, lamented that
one of the biggest tragedies of the nation was the dependence on food imports
to feed the population in spite of the abundant arable land and labour force.
