The Greater Accra Poultry Farmers Association is sounding the alarm over increasing foreign dominance in the sector, warning that the growing involvement of Chinese operators in the poultry value chain is fueling the egg glut currently crippling producers.
According to the association, the surge in unsold eggs is already affecting worker salaries, undermining revenue streams, and pushing several local investments toward collapse.
The poultry industry, which showed strong promise earlier this year, began experiencing a sharp decline in June, with farms, particularly in Sunyani, reporting sudden surpluses.
CEO of the association, Ali Mohammed, said about 38,000 crates of eggs remain unsold, attributing the crisis to increasing participation of foreign traders, especially Chinese retailers, in a market reserved for locals.
