With the federal government placing ban on importation of poultry products, this has created scarcity and an enormous demand that the few Nigerian poultry farmers hardly meet. So, this means that starting a poultry farm could be a goldmine for farmers.
According to the Poultry Association of Nigeria (PAN) 1.2 million metric tons (MT) of frozen chicken valued at N660 billion was imported into Nigeria in 2014.
The consumer market is massive such that we can have 10,000 more farmers and still not be able to meet local demand.
More people are now becoming cautious about the kind of meat they consume as you may already know pork and beef and goat meat can not be compared to meat from birds and for this reason many people do prefer to eat chicken than pork and beef.

This means that you can do more than one batch of birds in a year.
Chicken egg is in higher demand than the meat.
