Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2022, the Nigerian chicken meat and offal market volume grew consistently from 274.8 thousand tons to 356.0 thousand tons. This expansion was primarily driven by improved chicken meat yield and production efficiency within the country, a trend that accelerated notably in 2020 and peaked in 2022. Regional trade also played a role, with Benin being a significant exporter to Nigeria in 2019, adding to market supply despite minimal recorded import volumes.

The peak in production efficiency in 2022 coincided with a sharp 40% increase in import prices for meat and poultry, which bolstered the competitiveness of locally produced chicken. However, market volume declined to 333.3 thousand tons in 2023. This contraction occurred alongside heightened import competition, particularly from South Africa, which emerged as the leading supplier accounting for 56% of imports, and a stabilization of import prices following the previous year's spike.

By 2024, the market faced continued competitive pressure from rising imports of cheaper frozen chicken legs and offal from the EU, Brazil, and the United States. This trend contributed to a contraction in the market's value, extending the decline observed in prior years, while South Africa maintained its position as the foremost supplier.
