The Nigerian Chicken Revolution
In 2003, Nigeria banned the importing of frozen poultry to mitigate its negative effects on the economy. The decision was not made due to disease or sudden health risk, but to stop Nigeria being a destination for American surplus chicken parts, a practice that was devastating local farmers. For decades, U.S. producers had exported millions of tons of dark meat, cuts often unwanted in the American market, at prices that made it impossible for local, free-range farmers to compete. Even after the 2003 ban, this surplus was still smuggled into Nigeria. So the prohibition was reinforced in 2015 by “Operation Hawk Descend,” a crackdown on smuggling via Benin. The ban remains in full force today, recently reaffirmed by Minister of Livestock Development Idi Mukhtar Maiha.
