Ghanaian pork prices are anticipated to increase by 20% as of September 20.
According to the Pig Farmers Association of Ghana, this is a result of the ongoing African Swine Fever (ASF) outbreak, more expensive animal diets, and higher pump prices (PFAG).
“The swine disease outbreak caused a setback for the sector.
Businesses that were unable to receive payment for killing their animals have not been able to recover, according to Daniel Yaw Siaw, the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the Pig Farmers Association of Ghana (PFAG).
He urged the government to provide farmers with compensation so that individuals who lost their animals to the sickness may be helped.
Speaking at an association function in Kumasi to welcome new regional executives was Mr. Siaw.
He pleaded with the public and pork enthusiasts to support the farmers by tolerating the slight rise in order to save the pig farming sector.
