Poultry farmers in the northern part of the country have called on government to subsidise poultry feed and other products in the sector in order to assist local poultry farmers to thrive. The Northern Regional Chairman of the Poultry Farmers Association of Ghana, George Dassah, told the B&FT that government needs to quickly respond to the needs of the industry in order to prevent retardation of the sector’s growth. “Many have had their poultry businesses collapse due to lack of funding, infections as well lack of market for the birds, especially in this pandemic,” he said.
