“Nigeria, must as a matter of national urgency and to satisfy nutritional needs, begins to invest in automated processes to engender self- sufficiency in food production and food security.”
Nigeria’s egg consumption as at 2020 is estimated at 78.48 eggs per person annually. When compared with the 285.50 eggs per person per annum in the United States of America and 128.2 eggs/person/annum in South Africa.
However, Nigerian egg consumption is set to reach 600,000 metric tons by 2026 which translates to an increase of 0.2 percent year-on-year from 596,000 metric tons in 2021.
