Ghana’s poultry sector has recorded only marginal growth, with self-sufficiency inching from 10% to 12%, according to Dr Dan Acquaye, Chief Executive Officer of Agri-Impact Limited. The revelation comes as stakeholders question whether the country can feed itself.
Dr Acquaye made the remarks on Friday, July 17, during the Joy Business Roundtable Discussion on the Super Morning Show, held under the theme “Can Ghana feed itself?” The forum examined the future of the sector beyond the government’s “Nkoko Nkitinkiti” backyard poultry initiative.
According to him, Ghana was once a net exporter of poultry but has since become heavily reliant on imports. He stressed that to reclaim its position, the Nkoko Nkitinkiti initiative must go beyond policy and be backed by sustained investment, implementation, and collaboration across the value chain.
