The facility will turn Ghana’s organic waste into protein-rich feed and fertiliser, marking a first for Africa and a boost for sustainable agriculture.
The mission focused on addressing feed safety, mycotoxin control and intestinal health challenges in livestock production.
The initiative targets US$10 million in investments by 2036
The institute is designed to strengthen Ghana’s role in ocean governance.
Alongside the master plan, new cold storage and processing facilities are being rolled out to give farmers market access, strengthen value addition, and move Ghana closer to poultry self-sufficiency.
The project seeks to farm fish in offshore marine environments using advanced technology and international best practices to increase domestic production.
Today, over 75% of the chicken that Ghanaians consume is imported, mostly from Europe, the USA and Brazil.
The Fund was unveiled by Vice-President Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang on October 30 at the Aquaculture Ghana 2025 conference in Accra.
This plan includes the supply of starter feed to the beneficiries and training in poultry management to ensure the birds are properly reared.
The platform is expected to enhance the early detection and control of animal diseases such as rabies, anthrax, and avian influenza.
