The government is set to roll out an ambitious poultry initiative, with three million birds to be distributed nationwide under the newly launched Nkoko Nkitinkiti project.
Agriculture Minister Eric Opoku, who announced the programme, said every constituency will receive 10,000 birds to support local farmers and households. He described the initiative as a major step toward strengthening food security, creating jobs and reducing the country’s reliance on imported chicken.
“This project will empower farmers across all constituencies with resources to expand poultry production and earn sustainable incomes,” Mr Opoku said.
The government believes the Nkoko Nkitinkiti project will not only make poultry more affordable but also revive interest in domestic farming as a viable business venture. Officials say the birds will be distributed with technical support to ensure farmers are able to raise them successfully.
