Poultry Farmers Move To Slash Egg Prices

In a strategic bid to lower the cost of eggs and other poultry products in Lagos, the state’s chapter of the Poultry Association of Nigeria (PAN), has announced plans to set up direct-to-consumer sales points across all Local Government Areas (LGAs), potentially cutting egg prices by up to N1,000 per crate.

Consumers in Lagos currently pay up to ₦6,500 per crate, while farmers receive ₦5,000 to ₦5,500 at the farm gate. By eliminating intermediaries, PAN aims to make poultry products more affordable for the public.

Chairman of PAN Lagos, Mojeed Iyiola, said the initiative is aimed at eliminating middlemen and making poultry products more affordable for residents.

He disclosed that the association is already engaging with local government authorities to provide spaces where farmers can sell directly to consumers.
