flag Ghanaian farmers urge government to revise poultry giveaway plan, warning of losses without proper training and oversight.

flag Ghanaian poultry farmers in the Western Region are urging the government to revise its Nkoko Nkitinkiti policy, which plans to distribute 10,000 broiler birds per constituency at a cost of 200 million cedis. flag They warn that inexperienced recipients may face high bird mortality due to the birds’ need for specialized care, including proper housing, feeding, and vaccination. flag The farmers recommend replacing broilers with hardier breeds like Cockerell or Saso chickens, which better suit local conditions and require less intensive management. flag They stress the need for training, biosecurity, veterinary support, and oversight by established farmer groups to prevent disease and financial loss. flag The group also calls for depoliticizing the program to ensure effective implementation, emphasizing that proper management could boost agriculture, food security, and the national economy.
