Abstract:
The study was conducted to evaluate table egg marketing amid COVID -19 pandemic in Ibadan South-West local government area of Oyo state. Multi-stage random sampling method was used in selecting egg marketers. Using a well-structured questionnaire, data were obtained and subjected to descriptive statistics, gross margin and regression analysis. The result obtained shows that the mean age of the egg marketers was 33 years. Majorities were female and Christians. Most were Yoruba people, married, with tertiary education. Large number of the respondents adopted COVID -19 measures such as hand cleaning regularly, cough or sneeze in the bent elbow, use of nose mask, avoid contact with eyes, nose and mouth. The estimated gross margin value was N16, 300.00 while the regression result showed that price of egg purchase (p<0.01) and transport cost (p<0.05) during COVID -19 pandemic had significant effect on egg marketing. It was also observed that COVID -19 measure index (CMI) and transportation negatively affected egg marketing. It is therefore recommended that the government should provide appropriate palliative to reduce the effect of COVID -19 pandemic on egg marketers.
