Abstract

Competition between imported and domestic chickens is a significant barrier to the progress of the poultry sub-sector. This article investigates the underlying factors influencing the consumption of local hens in Togo. It looked at the various factors that influence local chicken consumption. To do this, data were obtained through a detailed questionnaire issued to 311 families spread across Lomé's five districts. Using the maximum likelihood estimation method, we used descriptive statistics, correlation tests, and regression analysis. According to the study's findings, households have a stronger preference for preparing imported chicken. This preference is due mainly to the lower cost of imported chicken, its widespread use in menu preparation, and its accessibility to a considerable proportion of consumers with minimal purchasing power. As a result, these families usually prefer imported frozen poultry cuts, and household head income has emerged as the most important element influencing chicken consumption.
