BUA Rice Ltd, incorporated in 2014 as a subsidiary of BUA Group, is a leading rice milling company based in Sharada, Kano State, Nigeria. Part of BUA Group’s food division, which includes BUA Foods Plc (listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange in 2022), it operates Nigeria’s largest rice mill with a current capacity of 200,000 metric tonnes per annum, undergoing expansion to 1 million tonnes by 2027. Established in 1988 by Abdul Samad Rabiu, BUA Group diversified into rice milling to support Nigeria’s backward integration policy, reducing reliance on imported rice (2.4 million tonnes smuggled annually via Benin). BUA Rice Ltd runs a robust out-grower scheme targeting over 100,000 farmers in Kano and Jigawa, providing seeds, fertilizers, and technical expertise under the Central Bank’s Anchor Borrowers Programme.
