When you keep voting in your fellow morons into power why wont the price of everything increase? This is the kind of senseless policies that is killing the country . Now your want to start blaming poultry farmers as though every other item has its prices reduced except poultry products. You people should think . Why is he not reducing house rent , why is he not reducing price of rice what about oil , the major factors that keeps the prices of things low is out of place but think importing poultry products will fix the economy? Because it will put your perceived enemy out of business? Your wicked heart makes you stupid, just think throught what your president is considering and ask your self which country with propering economy is practicing such? APC is about wickedness and hatred the reason the economy of the country tanged under their watch . You people forgets that when you target the business in your home country you are indirectly targeting the economy of your cou try. You people should think . You can force your enemy to sale off their shares ,thats polictics but forcing the business to close is stupidity of the highest oder. You know how many job loss each time a company leaves the country? You indirectly killing the economy of your country. The more you reducing the purchasing power of your people the more you slow your economy. Think and stop supporting fools.

Why are you afraid to compete with fellow poultry farmers outside Nigeria at international market?
What stops you from exporting your expensive eggs and chicken to other countries when border is opened?
It would improve the value of the naira too.
Why deny us assess to cheaper goods from competitors outside with your monopolistic backwardness?
Dangote is doing it, a no name like you is also enjoying it, rice farmers too.

We are part of ECOWAS and we should enjoy free trade across ECOWAS.
Greedy few like you should compete not dictate

Don't mind the agbado man. Now I know there is no difference between agbados and janjaweedds. Let the people eat first and look for a way to manufacture there own cheaper or healthier. You can't artificially control the economy and succeed.

And it's something similar Dangote has been doing. Pursuing their personal interest

Codes151:
you not smart.

Why not open border to every rubbish.
Then be complaining about exchange rate.

SMH.
No go read book. Typical Nigerian

Mumu. Keep thinking like a dingbat. Like the border closure or ban achieved much? Iranu

“When the poultry industry is thriving, it will trickle down the value chain including maize and soybean farmers and pharmaceutical companies producing drugs for the birds will also benefit.”

Verity that even the blind can see and the dumb confess.

Oga what happened during this past years of border closure/ban? The price of chicken sky rocketed from about 3500 to over 8000 and 10000 to even 12,000. Same thing with rice. Keep being a sycophant

Tinubu must open the boarder for chicken ....Obasanjo protecting his interest at the detriment of the masses . He sells one chicken for 20 k.
When chicken floods the market with foreign chicken ,the price will drop for people to afford.

Even the US protects their local production because anything that affects them affects the economy of the country. You dont get it. If you put your country men out of business who will employ you and your jobless brothers and sisters? Tell your elected officers to fix the country so thst the cost of production wilm reduce? Tell then to creation national price control agency if the manifacturers are the problem. The reality is that you keep voting in some sets of dumb fuckd into positions they know nothing about . The inepitude of the public sector is crumbling the private sector . A lot of companies are leaving the country not like there even an alternative, i heard of a guy complaining about the cost of drug the other day because companies producing drugs are no longer producing in nigeria , what did you do? So you wblame them if they increase the price ? You know how much poultry farmers buy feeds ? There was a time around 2014 that starter sold for 2200 while finisher was about 2800 or there about, go and price them now . Even at that time grown broilers were sold around 2500. Check the change and tell me if its the fualt of the farmers.

But there are factors that unfluences cheap pricing of international producers rhat are not necessarily the fault of the local producers. It has nothing to do with laziness. I went to banks earlier this year woth bank statement running into several millions. They didnt regard me. In those countries, producers can get credit to a very large extent, hence we cant compare in terms of output.

High cost of feed and feed supplement, occasioned by insecurity in farms resulting to under utilization of farmlands, obstruction and destruction of harvest and farms, killing and kidnapping of farmers, and high foreign exchange rate for imported maize.

Tinubu should contract maize farmer and soy bean to people that have the ability to mass produced them. Loan them billions of naira.

There was a time America government paying farmers not to produce if there were excess food in the circulation just to control the price. And also pay to mass produced if there is scarcity.

I like your submission but let us be sincere with ourselves.
FG, CBN, ministries and state governments gave rice farmers everything from loan to seedlings, land, water, fertilizer, machinery etc. They even close borders to encourage them but yet, they came out with very expensive rice that is even of poor quality compared to that of India for that matter.

Who will you blame in this scenario?
And Nigerians must continue to buy it by force with a closed border?

OBJ wants poultry 🐔 egg 🥚 prices remain as high as they are. This one affect am direct, na poultry farmer.

Centerpolefarms:
I am a poultry farmer. What baba is saying is for our own good. Nigeria frozen chicken is 💯 preservation free. Invest in poultry and smile to bank. Most we always import?

Why can't you consider export too.
Let us see who will buy at your price outside Nigeria

There are so many factors also contributing to shortage of food production in Nigeria and this is affecting the price of locally produced food. The major is insecurity . How can the goverment claim to have given farmers every thing but security to produce food ? Do you know how many farmers that lost their life the past 8 years? Do you know the scale of land that is inaccessible in the north due to insecurity ? Do you know that bandits collect taxes from farmers to access their farms in the north? How do you expect locally produced foods to be cheap?

It is then obvious the local farmers do not have the capacity and security required to meet up with the gross demand for food in Nigeria.
We need help.
We can't continue to be hungry by closing the border
If farms are not secure, the market has security.
Trade across border is save if govt should open burder for food importation

Huge relief as in?? Closure of businesses

femicyrus:

He is a major beneficiary of the border closure as a large scale poultry farmer and opening the border for cheaper poult will hurt him more while Nigerians will experience a huge relief

Incredible128:
Huge relief as in?? Closure of businesses

Frozen chicken importation is also a business but was closed down for local farmers to thrive who do not have the capacity to meet the demand for food in Nigeria but took the opportunity to inflate price for the highest bidder

A relief is when your little income has value.
Achievable by assess to cheaper food across border

Countersam, Because he rears chickens?

WHAT does your father rear to CONTRIBUTE to NIGERIA ECONOMY?

Greedy old man na so the take turn operation feed the nation to Obasojo farm. And give some business man power to monopolized Nigeria market becos is one of the shareholder.

In fact, Nigerian farmers should be restricted to export of their produce only to improve naira while cheaper foods should be imported for Nigerian hungry masses to survive.

One of those online dingbats spotted, how does my statement affect you to warrant an insult from you myopic fool.how is Obasanjo contributing to the economy with the hike in poultry products? The earlier you realise these crop of politicians will always be selfish with their interests the better for your sanity. Right now sycophancy has killed your sense of reasoning.
Abeg park well make I look front.

Nigerians are not finding it easy and if opening the border will crash the prices of poultry items them it will alleviate some pain, but those benefiting from this won't allow it. Try to put sentiments aside when you reason, but as a dingbat your brain already has factory fault.

Now you are listing the issues that are very factual and then don't you think allowing importation will allow us breathe amidst all these badly influential factors?

Do you know that doing that would mean the number of poultry farmers reducing thereby reducing patronage on the side of the poultry feed companies like Olam and Top feed leading to retrenchment of workers and a worsening economy? I am not against importation of frozen chicken, I am saying it should be done in a way so as not to hurt the local economy; and for your information, the farmers aren't just increasing prices because they want to, they're doing so because they have no choice as we all know the economy is not smiling and they have to survive otherwise they risk closure; you wouldn't know except u're in the business. How do you expect one who buys a bag of feed at 10000 plus to sell his produce at a lesser price that wouldn't cover his cost? If you knew how many bags the chickens consume before they reach maturity, and other expenses like drugs and the rest, you wouldn't make such comment. I know a lot of poultry farmers whose businesses have closed

I understand you quite well

We don't have to die of hunger for farmers to survive.
It is when we are alive that we can patronize your products.

Nigerians are suffering.
If the number of people knocking your door for food is just 10% of mine, you will personally open the border yourself if you have the means.

Food first before talking about the economic of a nation

magoo10:
urchins and sycophants that use slap to greet their parents will come and insult him.

Obasanjo is not the only one that rears chicken,there are thousands of nigerians including graduates without jobs that have and intending to venture into the poultry business.
besides did they use importation to swear for these bereft leaders ,how about exportation of the poultry products to gain foreign exchange instead relying heavily on borrowing loans.

Why would ppl import and somehow do better than your in Nigeria? This is the reason ppl can no longer buy rice simply because foolish Buhari closed borders to ensure we buy Nigerian rice How did that experiment help us as a country? How much is the Nigerian rice now?

If you don't know anything about a topic why not make little research before writing.
This man is absolutely saying the right thing.
He's not a big player in the market again and poultry farmers are closing the farms die to inability to meet up or repay loan. High cost of feed etc
He's absolutely right.
Stop being tribalism or partisan on every issues
