Nauru : Poultry (Egg) 

 

Agricultural and livestock production, including poultry, is largely at the subsistence level in Nauru’s phosphate-mining-oriented economy. The country is an insignificant producer and exporter of poultry and heavily reliant on food imports. An underdeveloped agricultural sector, high import costs for inputs and the prevalence of diseases coupled with lack of veterinary care, are major challenges for the poultry sector which lacks an exportable surplus. However, Nauru exported chicken to Ghana in 2023, showing a potential for poultry exports even to geographically distant locations.
