World Egg Day: Poultry Farmers Appleal to Government To Revisit “Egg Day in SHS” initiative”

As part of the World Egg Day, Ghanaian poultry farmers are sounding the alarm about the decline in egg consumption, which has led to increased unemployment in the industry. The farmers are appealing to the government to revisit the “Egg Day in SHS” initiative, which would provide a much-needed boost to the sector.

During a training session organized by Sky Agro and Aquaculture Solutions Limited, the farmers emphasized that incorporating eggs into the diet of Senior High School (SHS) students could be a game-changer. “If the government could choose poultry farmers in every district to supply eggs to SHS students, it would greatly help us,” said a farmer.

Eggs are an affordable and nutritious food source, providing essential proteins and nutrients for growth and development. By supporting local poultry farmers, the government can also stimulate economic growth and create jobs.

Providing a stable market for eggs would encourage consumption and support local farmers. Supporting poultry farmers would lead to increased employment opportunities in the sector.

Eggs would provide SHS students with a nutritious food source, enhancing their health and academic performance.

The CEO of Sky Agro and Aquaculture Solution Mr. Alfred Kwame Agbotsise shared the reasons why he has been organizing free seminars for poultry farmers across the country.
