Poultry Capacitation Program

Current major poultry producers primarily contract large scale growers. The programme seeks to include smaller scale growers and enable them to increase their output and improve the quality of their product.

By decentralizing production, the programme will be able to competitively provide a market for small scale growers by aggregating their produce at regional level and marketing it in conventional retail and wholesale markets.
