The government is exploring plans to process excess eggs into powder and other alternative products as part of efforts to address recurring gluts in the poultry sector and reduce losses suffered by farmers.
The move forms part of a broader strategy under the proposed national poultry master plan aimed at stabilising prices, extending shelf life, minimising post-production losses and creating new market opportunities within the poultry value chain.
Speaking to the media after a stakeholder dialogue on the proposed poultry master plan, Chief Technical Advisor to the Minister of Food and Agriculture, Kwesi Etu-Bonde, said government is prioritising value addition and improved storage capacity to better manage excess egg production.
