Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
John Dramani Mahama has announced an exciting plan aiming at boosting the production of local chickens in Ghana. This plan also aims to lessen the country’s dependence on imported chicken.
At the official launch of the Feed Ghana Programme in Techiman, Bono East Region, Mahama introduced the ‘Nkoko Nketenkete’ initiative.
This is a significant effort to strengthen Ghana’s poultry industry.
“Ghana imports almost $400 million worth of chicken every year. This, we all must be ashamed of,” the President remarked, stressing the urgent need to invest in local production systems.
The Nkoko Nketenkete initiative, which means comprehensive poultry, will be carried out alongside the Poultry Farmers Association.
This initiative focuses on supporting crucial parts of the poultry industry. It includes areas such as hatcheries, where chicks are born, and feed mills that produce chicken food.
“Our poultry farm-to-table project, popularly referred to as the Nkoko Nketenkete program, will be implemented in collaboration with the Poultry Farmers Association to support hatcheries, feed mills, veterinary services, and poultry processing centers,” Mahama explained.
