Gov't killed the poultry business - Agriculturalist
GHANA - An agriculturist and managing director of Sydals Limited William Awuku Ahiadormey has launched a scathing attack on government, blaming it for what he terms the woes of the local poultry industry.Mr. Ahiadormey says a government decision to withdraw import tariffs on poultry products and its accompanying influx of cheap imported chicken into the country is responsible for the virtual collapse of the local poultry industry.
