Ghana

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.

Under the terms of the MoU, the organisations will focus on scaling programs for smallholder farmers in soy, wheat, maize, and rice value chains in Nigeria.

Right now, the program seeks to enhance veterinary services, supporting farmer training, and facilitating livestock movement across borders.
