The story below just got me angry!!! NONSENSE. We will hunt and eat lizards if we fail. DO NOT BAN CHICKEN IMPORTS; NETHERLANDS WARNS GHANA Government has asserted it may heed to the calls to ban poultry imports if only local farmers, demonstrate, the capacity to produce, to satisfy the domestic market. Ghana spends about US$600million annually on rice and poultry imports. But the MD of the Netherlands Chamber, van Staalduinen has warned that the country may shoot itself in the foot if it goes ahead with the move. He believes Ghana’s land is not ‘suitable for rearing chicken. “I used to work in the poultry industry for more than 20 years and I am warning, Ghana is not an ideal country for the production of chicken. Don’t jump to whatever you see. Look at what Ghana’s strong points are, export that, develop cassava, goats, and maize, and develop rice that belongs here. But stay away from risky businesses like poultry.”
