A/R: Pork meat increased to GH¢30

On Friday, September 1st, the price of a kilogram of pork has increased to GH30.

Initially, the price per kilogram was GH26.

According to Augustine Naah, the Ashanti Regional Organiser of the Pig Farmers and Producers Association, the adjustment has become necessary as a result of rising production costs.

He stated in an interview that soya legumes, maize, drugs, transportation, and labor costs have all increased.

Mr. Naah remarked that it has become prudent for them to modify their prices to reflect the rising cost of production in order to remain competitive.

He pleaded with the consumers of the product to be patient so that they could remain in business.
