Abstract

The Nigerian poultry value chain is growing fast and transforming alongside increased climate variability. However, despite its importance for livelihoods in Nigeria, there is limited information about how the Nigerian poultry subsector is affected by climate change. We use the conceptual framework of Reardon and Zilberman (2017), regarding climate shocks and change on transforming food supply chains to examine how climate change will affect Nigeria’s food economy. We propose hypotheses of the interactions between climate shocks and change and the dimensions of the poultry subsector. This exercise reveals that climate change will have heterogeneous effects on the different nodes of the country’s poultry value chain.
