New Poultry Feed Prices & Their Implications

Poultry farming is no longer a profitable business. I am going to sell off all my birds – a farmer lamented. This and many more complaints have been brought about by the recent hike in feed prices. Around November 2020, you could get a 50kg Layer mash for GH₵ 93. Fast forward to July 2021, the price is now around GH₵ 137 (a 47% increase in feed prices in just seven months). As gloomy as this sounds, all hopes of succeeding in poultry farming is not lost yet, and I will explain why.
