Abstract

The flourishing production of poultry in the world, remains less important in Africa, compared to other countries like France which produces nearly 20 billion table eggs (consumption) per year, against ten billion in Côted Ivoire; 885 million in Senegal in 2019; about 100 million for Burkina, etc. This low production explains why the consumption of poultry products remains low in Africa: 20 and 60 eggs/year in south of the Sahara African countries against 280 units/year in France, i.e., the equivalent of the annual laying of a hen or more than 300 eggs/year in Japan and Mexico, meaning nearly one egg per dia. There is therefore an existing large market and a production progress need to be achieved.
