The Government of Ghana is set to commence construction of the first Nkoko Nkitinkiti poultry processing plant following the completion of the procurement phase, according to project coordinator Mr Demordzi.
Speaking on the rollout of the initiative, Mr Demordzi explained that beneficiaries would receive both broilers and layers under the program — free of charge — but emphasised that proper care is essential to ensure sustainability.
“If you are in an environment that is comfortable for the birds, then you will be given. It’s not just about giving out birds; you must be able to take care of them to benefit. These birds are not to be returned — once given, they are yours forever,” he said.
The Ministry of Food and Agriculture will provide continuous technical and management support to all beneficiaries to ensure the long-term success of the program.
Earlier this year, President John Mahama revealed that the first processing plant under the Nkoko Nkitinkiti project was in the procurement stage. Mr. Demordzi has now confirmed that the process is complete, clearing the way for the President to officially cut the sod for construction to begin.
