    On September 1, 2023, there was a small increase in the price of pork of GH4.

    1 kilo of pork, which was being sold for GH26, is now being sold for GH30.

    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.

    “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.
