FARMKENYA INITIATIVE
The outbreak of avian influenza compounded the plight of Ghanaian poultry sector, said some farmers told Xinhua.
Michael Nyarko-Ampem, president of the Greater Accra Regional Poultry Farmers Association, told Xinhua that the flu outbreak coupled with the existing challenge of shortage and high cost of feed constituted double jeopardy to the industry. It is indeed a kind of double jeopardy that has hit us on both sides. There is an Akan proverb that says a double slap makes you dizzy, and that is what we are going through, Nyarko-Ampem said. Before this outbreak, we have been dealing with the unavailability of maize, wheat bran, and soya bean cake. In addition to that, these things have increased in prices.
