The price of a crate of eggs will be GHC45.00, according to poultry farmers.

The group claims that the decision to increase the commodity's price is a result of the high cost of living in the nation and the cedi-to-dollar exchange rate.

The farmers reaffirmed that a box of eggs will now cost 45 Ghana cedis on their farms.

The association's Public Relations Office (PRO), Mr. Asiedu Kwame, warned the Nyankonton Mu Nsem on Rainbow Radio 87.5Fm that the country's chicken business would collapse if the association failed to sell it at the aforementioned price.

He pleaded with Ghanaians to be patient as the cost of doing business continues to rise, and failure to raise the price would jeopardize their operations.
