General Secretary of the Association Fred Damoah told GHOne Business’ Emmanuel Agyabeng that they had to raise their rates due to the high cost of feed.

“For the past two years, the prices of our ingredients have been skyrocketing, and we haven’t been able to do anything about it.” We are seeing increases in the cost of feed due to the rate at which poultry farms are closing down and how prices are increasing. He explained, “We had to join together, have a single voice, and then set a common pricing.”
