It is great to read about your first-hand experience - thanks for sharing.
Do you find that the seasonality is connected to local customs or certain
times of year when people want to eat more fish? Or is the seasonality of
market price due to increased production of fish during certain times of
year?
High taxes placed on imported fish is resulting in unprofitable cold rooms,
and potentially an increase in illegal trade? (illegal imports don't pay
taxes). While taxes are meant to protect local trade, taxes that are too
high increase the illegal trade, which ends up hurting local trade... Is
this is case in Nigeria?
C'est genial lire de votre experience - merci de partager. Trouvez-vous que
le saisonnalité est connecté à des coutumes locals, ou temps d'année quand
des personnes veulent manger plus de poisson? Ou, le saisonnalité de le
prix de marché est à cause de l'augmentation de production de poisson
pendant certains temps d'année?
Des taxes qui sont mis en place sur poisson importé résultent des salles
froides peu profitable, et pourrait résulter un augmentation du commerce
illicit? (Des importations illicit ne paye pas des taxes). Alors que des
taxes devraient proteger de commerce local, des taxes que sont trop hautes
pourrait augmenter du commerce illicit, quel finalement endommager du
commerce illicit... C'est ça le cas au Nigeria?

I ll suggest you carry out further research on this
article.
What is keeping the price of fish down in Nigeria is not about imported
fish. The high tarrif placed on imported fish is making many cold rooms the
receiver of this imported fish go under.
Am a fish farmer here and I can say two things are making the price go
down and they are
1. Season of the year
2. As the cost of production becomes high, people won't have the
purchasing means to buy.
Nigeria aquaculture is yet to saturate the market.

This article suggests that while there is a
potential for new tilapia and
catfish farms in Nigeria, it also suggests that illegal imports are keeping
market prices down.
Are illegal imports of tilapia and catfish in Nigeria are preventing
Nigerian aquaculture farms from being financially competitive? Should the
government prevent this? If so, how?

Cette article suggére que il y a un potentiel pour d'aquaculture de
tilapia et poisson-chat au Nigeria. Il suggére aussi que l'importation
illicit de tilapia et poisson-chat préviennent l'augmentation du prix du
marché.
Des poissons importé, préviennent-ils des enterprises d'aquaculture au
Nigeria d'etre competitif financièrement? Le gouvernement, devraient-ils
prevenir ça? Si oui, comme?
