Besides rice, Africa also has a great demand for other commodities such as: coffee, pepper,…. 

Volume of rice consumed in Africa 2022

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, Africa’s rice consumption ranges from 24 to 24.5 million tons/year and the average consumption per capita is 22.1 kg/year. With a population of more than 1 billion people, the demand for rice in Africa is increasing because of the convenience of rice processing compared to millet and other traditional grains as well as the increasing of urbanization rate in this region.

Moreover, because the price of rice is not too high compared to the income and conditions of the people, rice gradually becomes the main food source in the daily meals in Africa. However, because production could not meet the needs of consumers, from 2018, African region had to continuously import large amounts of rice from many different countries.

Some of the largest rice importing countries are: Nigeria, Senegal, Côte d’Ivoire, South Africa, Ghana, Tanzania, Algeria, Cameroon, Guinea… Except for the two countries that import a lot of high-quality parboiled rice: South Africa and Nigeria, other countries in this region mainly import broken rice with reasonable prices. The Nigerian market accounted for 30% of the total rice imports into Africa, followed by South Africa (5%), Ivory Coast, Senegal (5%), Ghana (4%)… The main rice suppliers for Africa are: Thailand, India, Pakistan, Vietnam and the US, while Thailand is still the supplier with the largest volume and varieties.
