Investments aim to boost poultry meat and egg production in Ghana

The Ghana International Trade and Finance Conference (GITFIC) has in the past year invested over GHC827,000 (€54,000) into egg and poultry meat production as part of its commitment to reducing the country’s heavy reliance on imported poultry products.
Expecting to scale up to 30,000 birds in the coming months, the multi-proposed 5-acre Agro-Processing project in the eastern region of the country currently produces 5,000 eggs daily during peak periods, which helps address domestic shortages. At the end of the birds’ laying cycles, the hens are processed into a canned chicken sauce, which is intended to serve both domestic and international markets, including the African Continental Free Trade Area, thereby creating new revenue streams for the country.
According to Ghana News Agency, the project was managed and supervised by a 30-year experienced animal production expert from the Ministry of Food and Agriculture. It also said negotiations for a processing plant was done and construction of the processing factory was expected to commence in March 2025.
