ANKELI EMMANUEL takes a look at the negative impact of border closure, coupled with the COVID-19 pandemic, on the over 50 poultry farm bussines in Sokoto

For those in the food and beverage sector, aside from natural occurrences, envisaging loss in a large proportion is minimal in their calendar because of the market demands.

“We produce as much as 500 crates of eggs with 56 staff capacity before the COVID-19. We also supply eggs to states like Zamfara, Kebbi and even neighbouring Niger Republic”. “The high cost of feed has reduced the production capacity. We get our feeds now from Plateau State. We get Vital food from them. Initially, we do buy from Olam in Kaduna but they increase prices at will and even without notifying customers, hence the need to look for an alternative”.
