Poultry farmers lament poor sales of eggs brought on by economic hardship

The Poultry Farmers Association of Nigeria has raised concerns over the declining sales of eggs in the country, citing rising economic hardships and low purchasing power among Nigerians. The Jigawa State chapter of the association under the leadership of Mr. Hussaini Gumel disclosed this when they paid a courtesy visit on Thursday evening, May 8, to Governor Umar Namadi at Government House Dutse, the state capital. Gumel said: Since the removal of fuel subsidy, our industry has been hit hard. Many Nigerians can no longer afford eggs, and our sales have plummeted. He blamed the decline in sales on the increasing economic hardships faced by many Nigerians. He added that the situation is further exacerbated by the rising costs of production, including feed and other inputs. Were struggling to keep our businesses afloat, Mr. Gumel said. The associations membersface numerous challenges, particularly in accessing affordable poultry feeds. Its disheartening that chicken feeds are significantly cheaper in Jos, Plateau State, compared to Jigawa and many other states. This disparity has made it difficult for poultry farmers in Jigawa to maintain profitability, Gumel lamented. He said the current economic situation has further worsened the challenges, with many Nigerians struggling to afford chicken and eggs due to limited financial resources. Theres no market for our products, and the lack of sufficient money in circulation among people is alarming, Mr. Gumel said, warning that the business is on the brink of collapse. The chairman added that the poultry farmers also lack essential infrastructure, such as refrigerators and cooling devices, to preserve their products in the hot weather. Were appealing for government intervention to prevent losses due to damaged products.  The post Poultry farmers lament poor sales of eggs brought on by economic hardship appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
