President Mahama inspects ‘Nkokɔ Nketenkete’ processing plant at Bechem - Says Bechem will become chicken capital

President John Dramani Mahama inspected the CHPS Compound at Ahyiaem “This has never happened in the history of our country,” he said, adding that the programme had also resulted in a sustained glut of eggs in the country for almost one year.“When this factory is completed, Bechem will become the chicken capital of Ghana, and so I encourage all the youth in and around Bechem to take up poultry farming, take advantage of the Feed Ghana programme.

The Minister of Food and Agriculture recounted that following a directive by the President, he and the Minister of Trade, Agribusiness and Industry travelled to Burkina Faso for negotiations to export Ghana’s eggs, and upon the conclusion of talks, over 20 trucks of eggs that had been stranded at the borders were allowed entry.
