People are using this festive season to rob people of their money and you're asking which law, my comment shouldn't affect you except if you sell chicken from 5,000 and above which is wrong.

Carton of dayold chicks was very expensive this year plus chicken feed prices skyrocketed. You can't expect the price to still be the same. Especially as the way the prices of chicks and chicken feed exploded.

SmellySperm:
some people dey use crocodile

Nah to drive and buy I dey do.

If I see bushmeat or cat fish while driving by, I don't miss it.

E get Python somebody bought N5k wey pass N20k meat.

I buy one catfish N3,000, nah 2 pots I use cook am. The head alone fill small pot.

So that crocodile no go pass N10k, nah hungry boy wan sell am.

That's over exaggerated.

The heavyweight broiler rooster goes for N6,000.

Broilers between 3,500 to 4,500.

chatinent:
A poultry I manage: N2500.

A neighbor's poultry: N3500.

so you manage a poultry?
interesting!

no matter how big or heavy it is...it is 1,500 or 2k here in Akwa ibom

Agbegbaorogboye:

You're my spec

I dont think so

urchcoded:
my mother has a poultry. by October I usually buy 1 bag of finisher for 3200 last month before I left for nysc it was sold for 5k and it's very scarce. the suppliers said the price increase is due to border closure which has made the prices of corn abi na wheat skyrocket. I'm sure by now feed would be sold for 6k or more. what do u expect the poultry farmers to do? the truth is they can't even make any profit this year no matter how much they sell it, unless they would be selling one fowl for 10k or more.

Exactly. They don't know. My mum also has a poultry. Price of feed skyrocketed. I pray she makes profit sef

There is no changing you want to change for me that will affect me

I tell you, Nigerians and greed. It's disgusting. Nigeria was the only country I ever lived in where food prices skyrocket during Christmas festivities. I don't live in Nigeria. The country I live in, the chicken vendors have been having sale on all their poultry products to encourage customers to buy and people have been buying. However in Nigeria, everything is always the opposite because of the "greed" factor. So unfortunate.

Aileexa1:

Exactly. That's why you should agree you can't determine my choice for me with confidence.

BRATISLAVA:


Even the ones who didn't take loans have increased their prices. Same thing with every other commodity. People with old stock will see new prices, and with the usual greed will also hike their prices. If you ask them why, "everything, the price has gone up, the new prices...", or even worse, "fuel price" -- for old stock! So it's not about taking loans.

Let's just say that Nigerians are their own economic problem.

Everything is related one way or another.
What you refer to as old stock are kept alive by continuous feeding which is at current price.
If everything is expensive, agric commodity won't be an exception irrespective of what people think as long as the farmers also need to spend their income within the same economy.

Preshieben:
so you manage a poultry?

interesting!

I do.

Unrated900:



Can you transport one to jalingo

Yes.

Some of these farmers didn't just increase price over night. Chicken feed has been on the increase since October so it's really not their fault. The peeps that sell 2k, how did they feed their chickens please?

Ardar:
Chicken is from 2,500 to 4000. Anyone selling above this price for a chicken below 3 months is a criminal.

And anyone selling sachet tomatoes that used to be N50 for N130 is a fraudster.

Are you sure you are in Nigeria?
Have you priced the cost of chicken feed lately? That is, if you see it in the first place.

Or do you know what dollar is exchanging for in Nigeria?

Una go just dey yarn dust anyhow.

Imagine a person, who bought several bags of chicken feed in August that can last till February, still wanting to hike their price just because others bought theirs more expensive in December. Even if he is continuously feeding his chickens on old stock that is no reason to increase his price. That is what causes needless inflation and suffering for majority of Nigerians. Old stock prices should stand.

Nigerians just like to do things because they can, not because it is necessary. And there is hardly any excuse for that. Everyone wants to become a trillionaire. Too much worship of money to the detriment of the society.

There needs to be price regulation to curtail the national greed.

That's not true, feeds are not stored that way. You keep for 2months as expiry date is 3months so you can't hoard feeds.

Whether or not feed lasts so short or so long, people have old stock but greed makes them hike prices. And overall, it causes inflation and suffering of the general public.
It's not loans that made sellers insensitive, but lack of price control and greedy illiterate mentalities.

Bread sellers could sell a loaf of bread for 2k if they were to have been like the chicken sellers, because they are affected by price increases, too. But they don't, because they are regulated.

You can't control price from output, you start from input.
If hatcheries sold birds for festive season at ₦600, feed mills increase prices from ₦3600 to ₦5300, you don't expect the farmer to sell at prevailing price when doc was ₦300 and feed ₦3600.
Farmers are not angels, they spend their fund in the same inflated economy.

Not all chicken rearers bought their feed at the new prices. Not all of them took loans. So why are they inflating prices? This is where inflation in other food products comes from.

Well, it's not an issue as long as there are buyers, right?

Chicken sellers want 100% profit by all means. Greed isn't helping Nigeria, rather contributing to suffering.

There's need for price regulation in Nigeria. If bread sellers can do it to stop overpricing and needless suffering of Nigerians, chicken sellers should be regulated, too.

Yhu didn't answer me...

Yhu go to boutiques to buy clothes way costlier than the go for at the random stores in the markets yet yhu don't complain, now yhu wantu state to a meat seller how much they should sell their chicken

Why not also tell Fulani how much they'd sell their cows....
NB: I don't sell meat of any nature..
I'm just being logical.

You bought a cow for 14500? Please show me the pic of the bucket you put it in.
