Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, the NDC's vice-presidential candidate, defended poultry farming as a significant job opportunity during her campaign in Suhum.
She highlighted that Ghana imports about 95% of its poultry meat, worth over US$400 million annually, due to limited local production.
The NDC aims to revitalize the poultry sector with technical and financial support for aspiring farmers, despite criticism from the NPP.
Opoku-Agyemang also emphasized the importance of the National Apprenticeship Program for youth training and the proposed National Women’s Development Bank to provide soft loans for women entrepreneurs, fostering economic empowerment.
