KEY FINDINGS
Smuggled chickens are a small share of chicken consumed in Nigeria.
Eighty five percent of national consumption of chicken is met by the domestic value chain.
At least equal efforts need to go towards supporting the sustainable growth of domestic poultry production in Nigeria as is given to the enforcement of the ban of poultry products.
