 Poultry farmers, others lament hike in egg prices


The Poultry Association of Nigeria, Lagos State, and other stakeholders in the sector have lamented the incessant hike in the price of eggs while calling for the Federal Government’s intervention.


They also expressed concern that eggs, which used to be the cheapest source of protein, were becoming unaffordable for many Nigerians.


They made these comments in separate interviews with the News Agency of Nigeria on Sunday in Lagos.


The Chairman of the Poultry Association of Nigeria, Mr Mojeed Iyiola, blamed the price hike on the high cost of raw materials for bird feed.


The price of crates of eggs continues to rise because of the high cost of raw materials. Despite all the government’s support and the open window for the importation of maize, the prices of feeds are not decreasing at all.


“This is because other raw materials for the formulation of bird feeds are not being subsidised.


“Although maize accounts for between 60 and 65 per cent of feed production, other materials are still quite expensive.
