Poultry farming

Welcome to the Marketplace.

Coming up in this bulletin, panelists at the Joy Business Roundtable discussion on the poultry industry are calling for one 10 to 20-year roadmap to ensure the successful implementation of government's Feed Ghana program.

Meanwhile, Ghana Greater Accra Poultry Farmers Association raises concerns about what they describe as a disconnect between policy formulation at the national level versus the realities faced by poultry farmers

Actually, the policymakers need to calm down.

If there's an accident, maybe two, three days.

So government should govern, create the environment, and allow a private sector to take the lead.

Meanwhile, Feed Ghana coordinator Bright Dumorji says the government is demonstrating a renewed commitment to strengthening local participation in Ghana's poultry industry through targeted interventions aimed at addressing long-standing challenges facing producers.

Speaking on the Joy Business Roundtable discussion, he said the measures are expected to boost local production and reduce the country's dependence on poultry imports.

These conditions are expected to intensify from October until January next year, with effects potentially persisting until June.

While much of the focus has been on the impact of the heat on people, poultry farms are also feeling the pressure as well.

So what impact could prolonged extreme heat have on chicken and egg production and the wider poultry supply chain?

And I guess what can farmers do to better manage the impact of rising temperatures? For more insights on this, we'll be speaking with Professor Dr.

Mm-hmm.

Uh, chicken farming.

I went to, uh, one of the biggest, uh, companies in Kenya that does breeding.

Mm-hmm.
