The National Vice President of the Poultry Farmers Association of Ghana, Dr. Boris Baidoo, has warned egg sellers and food vendors against unjustified price increases, following a significant drop in poultry feed prices under President John Mahama’s administration and the leadership of Minister for Agriculture, Eric Opoku.

Speaking in a phone interview with Chief Jerry Forson on Accra 100.5 FM’s morning show, Dr. Baidoo said the current reduction in production costs means no vendor should be selling a single egg for more than GH¢3 or two for more than GH¢5.

He noted that both fried-egg sellers and vendors who boil and sell eggs must adhere to the new pricing directives issued by the Association.

According to Dr. Baidoo, pricing two cooked eggs at GH¢5 is fair to consumers while remaining profitable for producers. He explained that a crate contains 30 eggs, and with feed costs now reduced, farmers are able to break even, earn decent profits, and pay workers—without the need for inflated retail prices.

He reiterated his commitment to supporting the National Chairman, national executives, and poultry farmers across the country as they work to stabilise egg prices and protect the sector.

Dr. Baidoo also praised the government for the renewed focus on the poultry industry, saying the increased support is strengthening local production. He added that reduced importation and improved regulation are helping create a more sustainable environment for growth.
