Augustine Naah, the Ashanti Regional Organiser of the Pig Farmers and Producers Association, claims that the price increase was mostly caused by the high cost of feed.
He stated that, “soya beans, maize, drugs, transport, and labour costs among others have all gone up.”

“To ensure the sustainability of their businesses, pig farmers found it necessary to align their prices with the increased cost of production,” Mr Naah said.
He pleaded with customers to be patient and continue buying their items so that they could stay in business.
