Nigeria's farmers association warns that an avian influenza outbreak in Niger State could cost the economy about N100 billion in revenue this year and N2 trillion in poultry investment. It calls on the federal government to intervene and compensate farms, noting an existing feed crisis linked to maize scarcity.
Maize scarcity and disease losses in Nigeria tighten local feed supply and may raise corn demand for imports, though the market impact is largely regional.
After 56 past bullish disease events, Corn moved a median -0.1% over 5 sessions (48% higher; middle half -1.5% to +1.6%), and +0.8% over 20.
