The Poultry Association of Nigeria (PAN) has warned that if some urgent steps are not taken by the federal government, the cost of chicken during the yuletide might be as high as N10,000 per unit

The association, in a press release made available to Blueprint stated that with the increase in feed prices especially soya beans and soya bean meal, the prices of eggs and chickens might go out of reach of many Nigerians.

The Chairperson of PAN, Ogun state Chapter, Blessing Alawode further requested the federal government to save Nigerian poultry industry from imminent collapse which the industry now faces as a result of unabated rising in the prices of bird feeds and concentrates used to feed chickens.

She explained that the feed inputs such as soya beans are going out of reach of an average poultry farmer with the price of the commodity now increased from N115,000 that was sold per ton in August to N215,000 in November, 2020, representing an increase of 86.95% within a four-month period.

First question coming to my mind is; Does the PAN have control on the price or they are just giving a rough calculation of what their member maybe experience. All member are not equal neither do they all have same capacity, so therefore the cost of their production will not be same.

Second question is; What is the goal of this press release to inform the public, or to get government attention. I think this is not just informative as the public are likely informed about the inflation rate of the nation

Third question is; Is this there alternative to this need? Yes even has many like and will prefer to go for chicken doing the festive season but this economics is certainly balanced by other things like local birds reared with no concentrate and many other form of meet
