Ghana: Ghana Poultry Voluntary Update 2024

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   GH2024-0002
Post forecasts Ghana’s MY2024 chicken meat imports at 270,000 metric tons (MT), unchanged from the preceding year’s estimate. Despite earlier support by the Government of Ghana (GOG), domestic broiler production still accounts for less than five percent of the total chicken meat production. The GOG has announced additional strategies to revitalize local chicken meat production. Import permits remain a requirement but major trade disruption is not anticipated in the foreseeable future.
