The Ghanaian government is investing $541 million to revamp the poultry industry, with the aim of achieving self-sufficiency in poultry meat products and reducing recent imports. The investment will expand domestic production from 50,000 mt to an envisaged 450,000 tonnes and increase the domestic poultry sector’s value from $62 million to $562 million.
The funding will be used for technical assistance programs in animal husbandry and health, expansion and upgrading of feed mills, enhancing access to finance and cost-sharing support for private investment in hatcheries and production expansion, and promoting the expansion of SME processing in the areas of slaughtering and packaging. The investment is a part of the country’s goal to achieve self-sufficiency and agrifood transformation, with a focus on food security. Eligible recipients for the funding include private investors in hatcheries and production expansion, as well as SMEs in the areas of slaughtering and packaging.
