For instance, despite a 7 million tonnes of rice consumption rate, local producers only supply 3 million tonnes. The shortfall of 4 million tonnes is smuggled into the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hon.

\u201cAre all borders truly closed, or is this policy only affecting certain regions?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n<p>The committee urged Dr. Jumoke Oduwole, Minister of Industry, Trade, and Investment, to
