Three days into Ramadan, Kano faces severe egg scarcity disrupting Iftar meals. Prices surged from N5,500 to N6,500 per crate (20% increase), leaving shelves bare despite 50% demand spike. Distributor Ibrahim Idris blames poultry production collapse from high feed costs, with farmers in Kumbotso, Gezawa, and Rimin Gado abandoning operations. Government support needed to prevent deepening crisis.
