Five ultramodern nucleus farms currently under construction at different locations as part of the implementation of the SADA-Asongtaba Guinea Fowl Production and Marketing Company Limited in the Northern Savannah Ecological Zone (NSEZ) are progressing steadily. The farms are being built in each of the five beneficiary regions that fall under the Savannah Accelerated Development Authority’s project zone. They are Upper West, Upper East and Northern Regions as well as the Northern parts of Brong Ahafo and Volta Regions which have similar climatic conditions. Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the SADA-Asongtaba Guinea Fowl Production and Marketing Company Limited, Henry Kangah in an interview with journalists said, the construction of each of the nucleus farms would cost between GH¢800,000.00 and GH¢1.5million. He explained that, each nucleus farm would be equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and machinery that would make the farms, production centres of wholesale poultry feed, poultry feathers and droppings for manure, Processing units, production of layers and brooders as well as a hatchery. Each farm would have the capacity to produce 4000 birds while serving as a nucleus centre that will provide ready market for out grower farmers and also capacity building for existing farmers. Mr. Kangah however noted that, construction work which was originally scheduled to be completed by the end of August has been delayed due to some technical and unforeseen difficulties including frequent rains around the period of the year. “We’re now looking at the end of October by which time we expect construction and set-up of farms to have been completed”, he projected.
