Abstract

This study examined the adaptation strategies to the consequence of COVID-19 pandemic on Poultry Farmers in Oyo State. Multistage sampling procedure was employed to select five Key Informants and five Focus Group Discussion from the respondents respectively. Data on effects of lockdown, coping strategies and role of PAN were collected and analysed using constant comparison analysis.The effects of pandemic in severity order include, poor marketing due to collapse of the standard delivery system (85%); glut of the poultry products (80%), laying stock reduction (25%)and folding up of the enterprise (15%) burying of unsold bad eggs (5%).Coping strategies employed were sourcing financial support from cooperative societies (85%), sold produce on credit (75%) and sourcing ICT-based marketing information (70%). The role played by PAN include taking exemption letter from police (Police wireless message) to move poultry products for sale; mediating unfavourable government taxation and relevant information dissemination via WhatsApp group platform. There is the need to develop an emergency’s-smart resilience programme for the poultry industry. Measures adopted to manage emergencies such as COVID-19 should not impede the flow of agricultural products and inputs from the onset.

尼日利亚奥约州家禽养殖户应对新冠肺炎大流行后果的适应策略

本研究考察了新冠肺炎大流行对奥约州家禽养殖户后果的适应策略。采用多阶段抽样程序，分别从受访者中选择5名关键信息员和5名焦点小组讨论。收集关于封锁效果、应对策略和PAN作用的数据，并使用持续比较分析进行分析。按严重程度排序，疫情的影响包括，由于标准配送系统的崩溃，营销不佳（85%）；家禽产品供过于求（80%）、蛋鸡库存减少（25%）和企业倒闭（15%）、掩埋未售出的坏鸡蛋（5%）。所采用的应对策略包括从合作社获得资金支持（85%）、赊销农产品（75%）和获取基于信息和通信技术的营销信息（70%）。PAN所扮演的角色包括接收警方的豁免信（警方无线信息），以转移家禽产品进行销售；通过WhatsApp群组平台调解不利的政府税收和相关信息传播。有必要为家禽业制定一个应急智能恢复计划。为管理新冠肺炎等紧急情况而采取的措施不应从一开始就阻碍农产品和投入的流动。
