Niger bans grain exports to Nigeria, other non- of ASS


Niger’s military authorities have banned rice, cereal and other food exports to all countries except fellow Alliance of Sahel States (ASS) to protect local supply, the government has said.

ASS is a confederation formed between Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso as a mutual defence pact following the 2023 Nigerien crisis, in which the West African political bloc ECOWAS threatened to intervene militarily to restore civilian rule after a coup in Niger earlier that year.

With the Sahel nation experiencing high inflation on certain foods, the products banned for export besides rice include legumes such as cowpea and cereals like millet, sorghum and corn.

The government said in a statement late Wednesday that Junta chief Abdourahamane Tiani took the measure “to protect the supply of the internal market” and “make the goods of mass consumption accessible.”


“These prohibitions do not apply to exports” to Mali and Burkina Faso, Niger’s allied neighbours which are also ruled by military leaders who took power in coups, the statement added.

Punishments for those infringing the ban range from the seizure of shipments to criminal penalties.

Niger is a key regional supplier of cereals, especially for some states in neighbouring Nigeria.

Although the sanctions imposed on Niger by the West African bloc ECOWAS in the wake of the July 2023 coup were lifted in February, they have nonetheless disrupted regular supplies to Nigerien markets where inflation remains high for products including rice.

The closure of the border between Niger and Benin has also contributed to the disruption.

The agriculture minister has vowed to buy part of farmers’ harvests to fill up the country’s emergency reserves.

The ministry said it hoped for “good agricultural harvests” despite major flooding across the West African nation.

Niger Republic built on the backbone of Nigeria's oil wealth is the one issuing ultimatums?
Tinubu and his cluelessness brought this mockery on Nigeria.

It's time to match their madness with craziness . Their bullying is getting too much lately.

They have no interest in having any conversation apart from attacking others which we would no longer be tolerated.

Btw, you have no idea how many mentions those people give me in a day, abi if one person can be using in average of 5 monikers daily to attack while they are in their hundreds. I reply less than 1% of it

Cut light supply to them too

A lot of grains sold in markets in the North comes from Niger Republic, they want to punish us for Tinubu threatening to invade their country on behalf od , now cost of grains will rise further in Nigeria

The United Nations has again predicted that 82 million Nigerians, about 64 per cent of the country’s population, may go hungry by 2030,

Please Ban everything,let Hunger kill your enemies until they receive sense.

Naira is weak now, couple with the strong disdain their military leaders have towards Nigerian president for issuing a threat to attack when they took over government. Nigerian government need to open the southern borders to cushion effect this could have on citizens. But naira is damn weak and hopeless now, only God can rescue us at this point.
