The victory of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government marks a turning point for Ghana's poultry sector, which has struggled to compete with cheap imports for years.
According to the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service, Ghana consumed approximately 300,000 metric tons of poultry last year, with a staggering 95% of this demand met through imports, costing the country $280 million.
Local production accounted for only 5% of the total, highlighting the urgent need for bold interventions.
The NDC's manifesto includes a transformative policy aimed at revitalizing the industry.
