Ghana poultry farmers burdened by high yellow corn prices

Ghana's poultry farmers are calling for the government to provide a buffer stock of yellow corn in an attempt to help combat rising animal feed prices, according to the Ghana National Association of Poultry Farmers. Right now, 125 kilograms of yellow corn is selling at GH¢100 (US$65.60); the same amount was selling at GH¢60.00 (US$39.36) in March.

A rise in Ghana's chicken prices could make the industry less profitable, if consumers begin to focus on cheaper imports, said Asante.
