      abstract = {Using data from multiple sources we explore the dynamic  growth and transformation that is taking place in the  Nigerian poultry subsector. We find that increased  consumption of poultry products in Nigeria is occurring  alongside rapid urbanization and growth in the poultry  industry. In just one decade, the volume of feed used in  Nigeria skyrocketed from 300 thousand to 1.8 million tons –  a 600% climb.      Contrary to the idea that Nigeria is  inundated with illegal imports of poultry products, we find  that domestic production covers about 85% of domestic  consumption, and (illegal) imports appear to be only about  15% of consumption. This indicates that efforts towards  addressing illegal smuggling of poultry products into  Nigeria should be supplemented with at least equal effort  to ensuring the sustainable growth of domestic poultry  production in the country.},
