Poultry Industry in Ghana is an important feature of the country’s agriculture industry.
The poultry industry in Ghana has been experiencing a steep decline since the year 2000.
Former Atwima Mponua best farmer who is the founder and leader for God of fire Ministry in the Ashanti Region and also known as Ogya Nyame expressed sorrow over the state of the poultry production in Ghana.
He stated that the intervention by the government, planting for food, and rearing of animals have not impacted their activities.
This intervention aimed at developing a competitive and more efficient livestock industry that will increase domestic production, reduce importation of livestock products,
contribute to employment creation and improve livelihoods of livestock products.
Also, he complained about how the covid-19 pandemic has affected many industries including the poultry industry in Ghana.
This has contracted as a result of intense competition from imported poultry meat and the decreasing profitability of egg production.
Local poultry processors in Ghana lack infrastructure and equipment as well as persistent importation of frozen chicken.
To conclude, the poultry industry in Ghana is quite profitable. Demand for poultry products is always high and the population of consumers is increasing.
The farmer, therefore, appeals to the government led by the president, His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo, and the minister of Agriculture, Honorable Owusu Afriyie Akoto to put measures in place in order to improve on the poultry industry before things get out of hand and affect the economy.
