..and farmers are still shouting about importation of corn, major constituent of chicken feeds.

Government should open the boarder for Importation of feeds, if cost of feeds locally is too expensive.so that the cost of chicken can come down.
It's too expensive

.
Opening of borders is the immediate solution

Una mouth on here na chu chu chu how is he a liar now. Thats the average cost. So they need to mention illorin for the list. Na wa oooo . Na 2026 we dey try dey do some online courses to help your senses

You dey mind them? Arguing with emotions. with our low wages, why should locally produced Chicken be Same price or more than obtainable in the USA. ?

Please give prices based on your area. Let us take the average.

How is it the most expensive? Why would the writer stops the list at 9? What about 10th.....

You seem to be the only person with sense here. There are over 130 nations in the world and this guy gave best nine and still claiming that number 9 is the worst out of 130.
It's just like your child came third in a class of 60 and the teacher said her result is the worst.

No Be Juju Be Dat?

Very scary. I wonder how people survive in Nigeria

ahmedio2017:
You are a liar,
1kg of chicken is not even up to 6k in Ilorin here is around 5k which is not even up to $4....

That could also mean that the prices for the other countries are also cheaper than what is stated here, and that balances it out!

OK

Why you no add UK.

American chicken is plastic whereas Nigerian chicken is sweet and organic.

Below is a list of how much 1kg fresh whole chicken cost in other countries vs the cost in Nigeria.

Insight: Despite having the lowest minimum wage among these nations, Nigeria has the highest cost of chicken—more than double the price in Thailand and significantly higher than in the USA.

Do you still think it's cheaper to live in Nigeria?

Its not affordable to Nigerians

$4 is still very expensive considering the minimum wage of Nigeria compared to these countries... imagine using over 8.3% of your minimum wage to buy just 1 kg of chicken, it then means ordinary chicken is considered as luxury for minimum wage earners, can you say same for minimum wage earners of these countries been compared with? Sometimes is not just bee quick to dismiss a data, think critically before you do so, the essence of this wasn't just to brag whose chicken was the highest but to compare whose minimum wage could purchase the prices of the chicken listed. If you had seen this you won't just run to dismiss the prices because even at your price calculation the Nigerian situation is the worst of them all considering the minimum wage purchasing power.

Their chicken and ours ain’t the same. It’s so tasteless and cheap . You’ll need to use ketchup to eat it

Must you eat chicken ni? Try "ponmo" nao.

How do you people even think with your brain sef?
This question ❓ baffles me like kilode!

Nigerian kilo of chicken still remains the most expensive in the world due to Bulaba's wuru-wuru economic policies and you are here yapping apata.

When was the last time you eat chicken? Because if you do eat it, you will definitely know the price.

A kilo of fresh farm chicken is 4200 wholesale and 4800/5000 retail price.

These are basic staples whose price should be under control of a Price floor and price ceiling the most effective economic tool for controlling elements of inflation....but we have brainless folks running our CBN and finance ministries.

Even though your data is inaccurate, do you want Nigerian government to subsidize the cost of chicken like the US and others too?

The US doesn't subsidize electricity o

Ilorin is not the only place in Nigeria. Here in Lagos, it's 7k. On average it's 6k. Do the maths, the op is right.

When you now factor taxation into it, hmmm!

1kg of chicken is N5,500. Na which kind chicken you dey buy for 9k?

rickpat:
Wrong info....1kg is 6k in my area..that's about $4

Lol.....even cheaper than the US,don't mind those gaslighting obidients who sees no good in the same country they want to govern as long as their neo facist leader isn't the president

richiemcgold:
Frozen chicken and turkey were very cheap many years ago. The price began to rise after Obasanjo imposed ban on importation of poultry products. If the ban is lifted today, the price will surely drop; just as it happened with rice.

Still very cheap, cheaper than beaf , goat meat and fishes.

A kilo of fresh farm chicken is 5k on retail price, no matter the location, it should not be more than 6k base on the current wholesale price.(4200-4500). The poster don't eat chicken, hence he would not have posted this unverified statistics.

In Booku Supermarket franchise 1kg is less than 6k

You guys should ask your brothers and sisters in America why they are ordering food stuffs from Nigeria even with Trump Tariff, if it is more expensive in Nigeria.
You guys are comparing the cost of chicken in Nigeria with that of America ignoring quality. I am not saying things are not expensive in Nigeria. The comparison is what I question. Food is far cheaper in Nigeria. The chicken you are quoting the price are low quality. it is not comparable to what is obtainable in Nigeria. Nigerians that are lower middle class and up don't eat those chicken. I can speaks to it because I often meet many Nigerians at the farm buying live fish, chicken, cattle etc. You go to the farm not for the cheap price but for the quality that is same as you get in Nigeria.

Given the minimum wage in Nigeria, even $4/kg is danm too expensive and beyond the reach of majority of Nigerians.

Edplug:
One person just mentioned 7000 to 7500 in Benin, how much is 1kg of fresh whole chicken sold in your area in Nigeria?

Meanwhile, in the US, the price for same chicken could be as low as $3.

Now factor in quality!

US chickens are raised for just two months and tasteless. They are drugged with hormones for fast growth.

Chicken is 5800 per kilo which is $3.8 - 3.9

Why shouldn't they?

Here its about $1.7cents

I don't even get why food remains so expensive in a nation where the minimum wage is practically among the lowest on Earth...!

Seems average Nigerians are destined to suffer for life.

Seems you so much like chicken
