Livestock Farmers across the Country are experiencing financial difficulties due to rising costs of animal feed, equipment, and transportation. Many farmers are struggling to maintain their businesses as they try to keep up with the increasing costs .

According to livestock farmers and traders in the Oti,Volta and Northern Regions, the lack of support from industry stakeholders and Government is adding to the challenges they are facing . Adding that they are struggling to keep up with the rising cost of livestock feed and treatments for their animals. The livestock industry is crucial to the local economy, and the support of stakeholders and government is vital for the farmers to succeed.

“We are facing a lot of challenges as livestock farmers. The cost of livestock feed has gone up, and we are struggling to find medicine to treat our animals when they get sick. We need help from stakeholders and the government so that we can produce healthy livestock that are affordable for people to buy,” said Mr. Kofi kyere

The Government have made  efforts in recent years to improve the livestock industry by investing in infrastructure, training, and research. And also implementing policies aimed at improving animal health, increasing productivity, and promoting the export of livestock products.

However, the Industry still face several challenges, including poor animal health management, inadequate infrastructure, and limited access to financing. Livestock farmers are calling on the government to provide subsidies and low-interest loans to help offset the cost of feed and other expenses. They are also requesting more access to veterinary services and medicine to help keep their animals healthy.

They are however hopeful that the government will take swift action to address their concerns and provide the necessary support .
