Nigeria
produces a wide range of agricultural commodities, which could serve as
raw materials for industrial production and food crop for human
consumption. This dual nature of these crops makes them to be in high
demand and one of such crop is Maize.
Maize
(Zea Mays) is a cereal crop that grows across a range of
agro-ecological zones in Nigeria, though it is grown slightly more in
the Northern part of the country. Two types of maize are grown in
Nigeria, the yellow and white variety and due to its rate of
adaptability, Maize is not a seasonal product and some of the major
producing states in Nigeria includes Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Yobe,
Jigawa, Gombe, Taraba, Plateau, Sokoto, Kebbi, Katsina, Nasarawa ,Niger and Zamfara.
Nigeria,
the most populous country in Africa (about 165 million) is essentially
agrarian in nature with over 80 per cent of her food needs being
produced by peasant farmers cultivating, in many cases, less than 2
hectares of land.
Among
the major crops produced and consumed in large quantities are sorghum,
millet, maize, rice, cassava, and yam. The inhabitants of each region of
the country can be identified by having at least one of these crops as
their major food. For example, grains are consumed in the far north,
while in the southern part of the country, tubers are the main food.
However,
the crops are subjected to different processes before they are ready
for consumption. One such process is the conversion of the grains or the
chips in the case of cassava and yam) into flour (size reduction).
Maize
flour is made from ground endosperm (the white piece of the corn
kernel). It is on record that more than 60% of Nigeria's production of
maize is consumed by the industrial sector for production of flour,
beer, malt drink, corn flakes, starch, syrup, dextrose and animal feeds.
Production
process in maize flour production entails pre-cleaning, cleaning,
tempering, crushing, germination, milling, sieving and packaging.
Nigeria
has an annual maize production in excess of 7 million metric tons. In
terms of volume produced, maize is the third most important cereal grown
in Nigeria after sorghum and millet. It comes after wheat and rice in
terms of world importance.
The
total land area planted to maize in Nigeria is above 2.5 million
hectares with an estimated yield of about 1.4 metric tones per hectare.
