The Greater Accra Poultry Farmers Association disputes the government's claim that middlemen mainly drive up local chicken prices, arguing that insufficient processing facilities are a major cause. Deputy Minister John Dumelo said farm-gate birds sell for about GH¢80 but reach consumers at around GH¢200, making imports more affordable.
The Association is urging more processing plants and questioned the location of a plant under construction in Bechem.
Limited processing capacity raises local chicken costs and reduces competitiveness against imports, which weighs on local poultry demand and feed-linked production in Ghana. The dispute is a local pricing debate with little direct effect on global feed commodity prices.
