Ok, increases in supply. It's very interesting to hear that people want a
new taste of fish - "taste" is so subjective and dependent on culture. Has
anyone else felt (or not) the effects of illegal imports into Nigeria?
D'accord, augmentation d'offre. C'est trés intéressant entendre que des
personnes veulent un nouveau gout de poisson - "gout" est trés subjectif et
dépendant de la culture. Il y a des autres personnes qui ont sentir (ou
pas) des effets du commerce illicit au Nigeria?

Many thanks.
In the case of seasonality, this occurs during and the offset of the rainy
season. At this time, fishermen are able to catch more fishes in the
country water bodies making the availability high. On the part of the
people, they want a new taste of fish and these set of fish are relatively
cheaper than cultured fish.
The smuggling issue is still there, but considering my area, the act has
decreased. Many of the cold rooms have closed shops. Due to the constant
power outages, the few available ones are left struggling.

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?
