Egg is a daily consumable in
many Nigerian menu. It is consume by nearly everyone in the country one way or
the other.
However, prior to the
Ramadan fast that is currently being observed by Muslims in the country, a crate
of egg was sold between N500 and N600 naira at the whole sale prices while in
retail shops, it was sold between N650 and N700 naira respectively. However,
since the beginning of the fast, a crate of egg now go for between N900 and
N850 in major cities while the prices
are N50 and N30 naira lesser in adjoining communities.
Findings revealed that it
was due to high demand by Muslims as egg is a major part of the food being used
to break their fast daily, especially Muslims from the Northern part of the
country. Demands for egg has gone astronomical due to the fact that some Muslim
faithful buy egg in bucks to share to the needy and family members that is why
demand has over shot supply.
