MoFA launches poultry intensification scheme to scale up broiler production nationwide
The Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MoFA), through the West Africa Food System Resilience Programme (FSRP), has launched the Poultry Intensification Scheme (PIS) as part of efforts to boost Ghana’s poultry industry and reinforce sustainable food production.
Backed by a $12.5 million World Bank facility, the scheme aims to produce about two million broiler birds annually over the next three years. It is designed to strengthen the poultry value chain, improve food security, create jobs, and promote climate-resilient agricultural practices.
The initiative features a number of major commercial poultry operations as anchor farmers. These include Darko Farms & Company Limited, Boris B’s Farms and Veterinary Supplies, Rockland Meat Company Limited, Asamoa & Yamoa Farms, Aglow Farms Limited, AMG Farms Limited, and several others. Also included is WIPVaC-Apex Ghana, the national apex body representing women in the poultry value chain.
According to programme officials, beneficiaries of the Poultry Intensification Scheme will have access to financial support, technical expertise, and market linkages to help scale production and meet growing domestic demand for poultry products.
Although the scheme complements other national poultry initiatives, it remains unclear whether the selected anchor farmers also benefit from the Nkoko Nkitinkiti Initiative, a separate programme tailored to support smallholder poultry farmers.
Overall, the Poultry Intensification Scheme marks a major step toward modernising Ghana’s poultry sector, enhancing resilience within the food system, and supporting the country’s broader agricultural transformation agenda.
