The Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MoFA), through the West Africa Food System Resilience Programme (FSRP), has launched the Poultry Intensification Scheme (PIS) to strengthen Ghana’s poultry sector and ensure sustainable food production.

The scheme, supported by a $12.5 million World Bank facility, aims to produce approximately 2 million broiler birds annually over the next three years.

Under the initiative, 22 competitively selected commercial anchor farmers and their network of outgrowers across the country will receive support credit to produce, process, and market high-quality poultry.

The anchor farmers include prominent commercial operations such as 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 others, alongside WIPVaC-Apex Ghana, which represents women in the poultry value chain.

Speaking on the programme, officials highlighted that the Poultry Intensification Scheme seeks to strengthen the entire poultry value chain, create jobs, improve food security, and promote sustainable agricultural practices.

Beneficiaries will gain access to financial support, technical guidance, and market linkages to scale production efficiently and meet rising domestic demand.

While the scheme complements other national poultry initiatives, it remains unclear whether the selected anchor farmers are also beneficiaries of the Nkoko Nkitinkiti Initiative, a separate programme targeting smallholder poultry farmers.

The FSRP’s Poultry Intensification Scheme represents a major step in Ghana’s efforts to modernise poultry production, enhance resilience in the food system, and support the country’s long-term agricultural development goals.
