Ghana s poultry industry in peril due to feed shortage
A serious shortage of feed could significantly cripple Ghana s poultry industry, according to the Ghana Poultry Farmers Association.
All poultry farms in Ghana are on the verge of collapse if no drastic measures are taken by the government […] to sustain the industry, the chairman of the association, Isaac Essiaw, told Xinhua, adding that the high cost of feed was mainly due to the increasing price of maize, which constitutes a significant portion of poultry feed.
Furthermore, the prices of other feed ingredients, including wheat bran, have also increased, which he attributes to the uncharacteristic low rainfall during the 2021 season.
