FROZEN CHICKEN PRODUCTION IN NIGERIA: THE OPPORTUNITY.

Chicken constitutes about 90% of the poultry population in Nigeria. Consequently, poultry farming is generically used to refer to chicken farming in the country. Chicken is the fowl derived from chickens. It is prepared as food in a wide variety of ways, varying by region and culture.

Chicken is the most widely accepted meat in Nigeria. Unlike beef or pork, it does not have a religious/health taboo.

Nigeria, with a population of about 140 million is grossly underprovided with the essential food component, which is protein.

For example, data from the FOS, CBN, and FAO indicate that from cattle, less than 2kg of beef is available to an average Nigerian per year and just mere 4kg of eggs per annum is available to each Nigerian. In fact, milk production has been nose diving or at best has remained constant since 1994. This scenario is compounded more so when the volume of egg supply is very low, being 10.56g per person per day as compared with the usual recommendation that an egg should be consumed by an adult per day.

This recommendation would imply a crate of 30 eggs per month. This story also holds for other meat products including, chicken.

To ameliorate this problem of low-level of protein intake, there is the need for concerted effort, among the various stakeholders to bring about the massive production of protein based food items at competitive costs so that they would be affordable to the general masses. Aside from the other necessary economic reforms, massive investment in poultry farming is one way of resolving the problem.

The billions of Naira spent in importing food from other countries of the world. Nigeria spends about $2 billion annually in importing food items. Recent reports show that each year, Nigeria spends $132 million on importation of milk; $400 million on wheat; $200 million on poultry, especially frozen chicken; and $756 million on rice.

Nigeria also imports about 95 million metric tones of sugar annually. In short, Nigeria’s approach to development has been ineffective and unsustainable.

More investment is required in the processing of chickens in order to meet the ever increasing demand for frozen chicken and achieve the desire of government that placed a ban on the importation of frozen chicken in Nigeria
