Agriculture Ministry to supply MPs with poultry birds under ‘Nkoko Nkitinkiti’ – Eric Opoku. Eric Opoku, the Minister of Food and Agriculture, has proposed measures to support Members of Parliament (MPs) to venture into poultry farming under government’s Feed Ghana Programme, popularly known as “Nkoko Nkitinkitsi.”. Briefing the Parliament’s Assurances Committee on the “Nkoko Nkitinkitsi” initiative, on Thursday, Mr Opoku said the Ministry is procuring quantities of poultry birds to be distributed to interested MPs. He explained that as a poultry farmer himself, he had invested in the business and reaping significant benefits, and believed legislators should be stimulated to take up poultry farming as a profitable post-retirement venture. Mr Opoku further assured the Committee that the Nkoko Nkitinkitsi programme is designed to boost poultry production nationwide, reduce reliance on imports, and enhance food security. The initiative forms part of the broader Planting for Food and Jobs agenda, which seeks to modernise Ghana’s agriculture and position it as a driver of economic growth.
