Ghana’s poultry industry is in crisis, according to Minister-Designate for Food and Agriculture Eric Opoku, who has emphasized the urgent need for reforms.
During his vetting on Monday, January 20, Opoku emphasized that resolving the sector’s issues is crucial to guaranteeing food security and promoting economic expansion.
He said there are a lot of issues facing the poultry industry right now, such as a big discrepancy between supply and demand.
He responded by outlining a thorough plan to revive the industry, which will be a top priority under his direction.
“To revamp the poultry sector, we have outlined a program in our manifesto called the ‘Poultry Farm to the Table Programme.’ Under this initiative, we aim to collaborate with poultry farmers’ associations, providing them with the necessary financial resources to expand their businesses and increase production,” Opoku stated.
He underlined that reducing the significant discrepancy between the supply and rising demand for poultry products is one of the program’s main objectives.
