    LCFE lists N23.4 billion Eko rice contracts

    September 28, 20253 Mins Read


    The Lagos Commodities and Futures Exchange (LCFE) has listed Eko Rice Classic Contracts valued at N23.4 billion, marking a major milestone in the transformation of Nigeria’s agricultural and commodities sectors.

    A total of 3,000 contracts were listed at an initial price of N60,000 each, appreciating by 10 per cent to N66,000 at the close of trading last week, a strong indication of investor confidence and market potential.

    This landmark listing highlights LCFE’s ongoing commitment to reforming Nigeria’s commodities ecosystem by boosting transparency, liquidity and investment opportunities across the value chain.

    “Nigeria is an agrarian country, yet for many years, we lacked a commodities exchange that truly reflects the value of our natural resources. The listing marks a new chapter in our economic history.

    The launch of Eko Rice Paddy Contracts is a collective step towards diversifying our economy away from crude oil.

    “It will strengthen the made-in-Nigeria brand, promote standardisation, and ensure quality control. I look forward to the day when countries like Ghana, Mali, and Côte d’Ivoire import rice from Nigeria.”

    Said Director General of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Emomotimi Agama.

    Lagos State Commissioner for Agriculture, Abisola Olusanya, speaking on behalf of Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, praised LCFE for the initiative.

    “This listing demonstrates that a well-structured agricultural sector can drive economic growth and generate sustainable employment for millions. Eko Rice will play a vital role in reducing rice importation and boosting Nigeria’s foreign exchange earnings,” she said.

    Lagos State’s Special Adviser on Agriculture and Food Systems, Dr. Oluwarotimi Fashola, applauded LCFE for introducing innovation and building trust within the commodity market.

    He emphasized that agriculture in Nigeria should be seen not only as a means of sustenance but also as a viable investment opportunity.

    Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of LCFE, Akin Akeredolu-Ale, described the Eko Rice Classic listing as a pivotal development for Nigerian agriculture.

    “This is more than just a contract listing — it is a watershed moment for Nigeria’s commodities market. The N23.4 billion Eko Rice Classic Spot Contract shows that agriculture is not only viable but bankable. It sets a benchmark for quality and reinforces the vital role of commodity exchanges in national development,” he said.

    LCFE Chairman, Onyenwechukwu Ezeagu, stated that the listing sends a clear message to the global community, Nigerian farmers, processors, innovators and brokers are evolving and ready to compete on the world stage.

    LCFE Director, Sam Onukwue, described the listing as a powerful endorsement of Nigeria’s commodity market and a bold statement about the future of the commodity ecosystem.

    LCFE is a commodities Exchange that trades on agricultural commodities, currencies, oil and gas, and solid mineral commodities.
