Funny, but true, Pomo has taken it all!! lolzz
Some poultry farmers in Calabar are worried over the low patronage of
local poultry products. A poultry farmer, Eteng Ubi said the demand for chicken has drastically reduced, as residents complain of lack of funds and hardship. Mr. Ubi who had 420 chickens in his farm, also complained that the return on investment is not commensurate with the resources put in.

He also said most families can no longer afford to include chicken in
their meals. According to him, a broiler that goes for N1, 200, takes seven weeks to mature for consumption, while the one bred for three months is sold for N3, 000. Another farmer, Maria Ogban, who breeds chicken, said the business is no longer profitable.

Mrs. Ogban said the price of a bag of Vital feeds has increased from N3,
400 to N4, 000. A customer, Eka Edim, said she only needs chicken when she has guests in her hotel. Ms. Edim added that she only places high demand for chicken during festivities, such as Christmas and New Year as well as marriage celebrations and birthday parties.
