An agripreneur in the Asene Manso Akroso District of the Eastern Region, Edward Ansah, has appealed to the government to establish a poultry processing plant in the district to address marketing challenges facing local poultry farmers. Speaking to the media at Manso, Mr Ansah identified marketing as one of the major challenges confronting poultry farmers in the district. Mr Ansah, therefore, called on the government to provide the district with a poultry processing and distribution facility to create a sustainable market for locally produced poultry. Mr Ansah said investment in poultry processing should be prioritised alongside initiatives aimed at increasing local poultry production to help reduce the country’s high broiler import bill. He added that establishing a poultry processing facility in the district would complement existing government interventions and strengthen the poultry value chain from production through to processing and distribution.
