Nkoko Nkitinkiti risks missing import reduction goal if implementation flaws persist — Poultry farmers

Mr Dassah said the programme was originally seen as a promising step toward reviving local poultry production and gradually cutting Ghana’s dependence on imported chicken.

The Nkoko Nkitinkiti initiative is one of the government’s flagship agricultural interventions aimed at revitalising Ghana’s poultry industry, increasing local production, creating investment opportunities and reducing the country’s reliance on imported chicken and other poultry products.

Mr Dassah disclosed that the Poultry Farmers Association plans to engage the Ministry of Food and Agriculture with proposals ahead of the next phase of the programme, which the minister has indicated will focus on commercial farmers.
