How does insecurity affect farming and agricultural activities in Nigeria?

Farmlife weekly update

Nigeria is facing an unprecedented egg shortage, and prices have hit record highs—up to ₦8,500 per crate in some Lagos supermarkets. The crisis stems from a shortage of day-old chicks, government restrictions on importing breeding birds, and rising fuel costs that affect transportation.

Farmers are struggling to restock their flocks, with hatcheries fully booked months in advance. The cost of chicks has nearly doubled, squeezing margins and discouraging expansion. Meanwhile, households are bearing the brunt, as eggs—once the most affordable source of protein—are becoming unaffordable for many families.

Industry experts warn that unless the government expands import licences or supports local hatcheries, the shortage could persist throughout 2026. While the Federal Government has announced a $900 million partnership with China to boost production, stakeholders caution that without solving supply chain bottlenecks, the plan may not deliver immediate relief.
