The Poultry Association of Nigeria (PAN) has issued a warning that the price of eggs may skyrocket to N10,000 per crate if immediate action is not taken to support the poultry industry.

Currently, a crate of eggs sells for around N5,500, but rising production costs and lack of government intervention could lead to a steep hike.

According to PAN, the primary reason for this potential increase is the escalating cost of feed, which accounts for a large portion of poultry farming expenses.

Farmers have been grappling with the rising prices of maize and soybean, key ingredients in poultry feed, alongside other operational challenges like insecurity, inflation, and poor access to credit.

These factors have made it increasingly difficult for farmers to maintain their operations, forcing some to reduce production or shut down entirely.

The association has called on the government to provide subsidies for feed and other farming inputs, as well as create policies that will help stabilize the market.

They stressed that without these urgent measures, egg prices will continue to rise, affecting not just farmers but also consumers, many of whom rely on eggs as a key source of affordable protein.

The situation has raised concerns about food security and the affordability of basic food items, with PAN urging the government to address the issue before the country faces even more severe shortages and price hikes.
