Senegal’s poultry sector continues to face supply and cost pressures, with heavy reliance on imported hatching eggs and elevated feed costs. Imported hatching eggs currently meet around 90% of domestic demand and cost the country nearly $33 million USD (20 billion FCFA) annually.

To strengthen local supply, Avvite-X Sarl has inaugurated a new industrial hatching egg unit in Taïba Ndiaye, with initial production targeted at 2.2 million eggs per year and planned expansion to 3.15 million by the fourth year.
Meanwhile, at the height of the lean season, local corn prices remain elevated at around $557/MT (315,000 FCFA/MT) across key distribution markets in Thiès, Kaolack, and Dakar.
Broiler feed prices have reached approximately $674/MT (380,000 FCFA/MT), keeping feed costs high for poultry producers despite relatively stable production levels.

The elevated cost environment is likely to sustain interest in imported yellow corn and alternative feed ingredients through the final quarter of 2026.
