In addition, the TGI Group said that across neighborhood shops, departmental stores, and open markets, the Big Bull Rice N100 pack has grown increasingly popular amongst consumers who crave good quality, affordable, convenient, and hygienically packaged rice that complements their lifestyle needs.
Emmanuel Ejiofor, a rice dealer on College Road, Ogba, stated that he has observed a gradual trend of more consumers embracing packaged rice over the loose rice he displays in his store.
He noted the high demand for the Big Bull Rice N100 pack in particular as more consumers consider it for its traceability, quality, convenience, and affordability.
For Ezekiel Mustapha, a student of the University of Ibadan, Big Bull Rice is already a household name in Nigeria for its quality, affordability, and satisfaction.
He noted that as a student, the rising popularity of the Big Bull N100 packs in a hygienic pack is a unique transition from loose rice openly sold in big basins and measured with rusty.
