 Welcome back from that break. I will have Lofti Tahoula, General Manager of Goro Subway, Nidrant Limited, the producers of Lena for Boardrise. Joining us, look at the issue of smuggling. Thanks for joining us, Lofti. What's the situation right now? Because before now, one would have thought that the government's policy of enclosing the land border would have addressed the issue of smuggling. What do we have in our hands right now? Yeah, thank you very much. It is an opportunity to be able to also share my thoughts on the issues of smuggling, especially a process right. So it is a very alarming situation. Now, if you go to market, most of the time you go to Subway, you find out that there are foreign goods in the market competing with the locally processed. And the smuggling situation has really affected the local producers that are basically depending on the raw material in Nigeria. So this has also affected the population because you find out that people get engaged in process wise, cultivate it, and process it in Nigeria. But there's not much market point. You find out that all the foreign goods are flooded into the market. In places like where we are at the market, you find out that we have foreign lands, foreign land borders, that border range, shard, Cameroon, you know, Niger, and some other parts from this address. You find out that influx of processed foreign rice in the country. And this has really affected the farmers, the processors, in order to harness a revenue or gain from the activities that they're involved in. Let's do talk about the issue of rice processing. Aside from the problem with them smuggling, that local and processors are complaining about, what other issues is actually the stumbling block in getting it right in terms of rice production in Nigeria? Yeah, we have to deal with the issue. Most of the time we say energy. Energy is the major power play in the processing industry. The cost of the driven now is so high in some places you can get 90, 900 naira per liter. So most of our machines in some places you find out there's no stable power. So you have to these generators and some of the processing plants are also using this. So due to this high cost of driven, you find out that it has increased the cost of production whereby sometimes we don't produce at most. Presently, you find out that tarji is called almost 25,000 naira per liter in this area. So by the time we process the tarji at the cost of the 5,000 naira, added with the cost of the excess cost of diesel, you find out that in some production, you can't even break even. Rice is told that you want 1,000 naira a year in other countries. In some places you get 30,000 from the producers. And if you look at it, the cost of producing one part of tarboil rice is almost equivalent of the cost of the market price. So this is one of the major challenges that is facing the local processors because there's high cost of production in terms of diesel, in terms of some places that you use, you find out that all this because of the additional cost in the energy of petrol and diesel, it has also increased the cost of production. So this is one of the major challenges local processors are having. All right, Lofti, for the sake of time, we'll have to bring you on the show again because there are many other issues to be discussed as we've got some rice processing, but we are completely out of time. We must say a very big thank you to you. Lofti, General Manijago, Subway, and Nigeria Limited, producers of Alina tarboil rice. That's the size of the show for today, and our business insights will return again same time. Half-personnel tomorrow. Bye for now.
