Nigeria is West Africa's largest economy and protein market, with a poultry sector expanding rapidly from a low base. Chi Farms is among the largest integrated poultry producers. Significant import dependency for frozen poultry and fish makes it a key price-sensitive import market.
Nigeria is West Africa's largest economy and its fastest-growing protein market, with domestic poultry production unable to meet demand โ creating sustained import dependency.
Nigerian poultry production is centred in Ogun, Oyo, and Kaduna states, led by Chi Farms and Zartech. Frozen poultry imports โ primarily from Brazil and the EU โ fill a significant domestic supply gap. The Central Bank of Nigeria's FX access restrictions have periodically choked poultry feed imports (soy and corn), creating supply-side shocks. Informal cross-border protein trade with Benin, Niger, and Cameroon is substantial.
Nigeria is a consistently price-sensitive buyer of frozen chicken from Brazil. When BRL/NGN favours import and CBN FX is accessible, Brazilian whole frozen chicken enters Lagos at 20โ30% below domestic production cost โ the most significant recurring protein price arbitrage opportunity in West Africa.
