EGGCELLENT FARMS
Join Eggcellent Farms on a mission to deliver sustainable food production, economic opportunity, and long-term value for investors and communities alike.
THE COMPELLING MARKET
GHANA'S EGG SHORTAGE
Ghana’s rapidly growing population, projected to exceed 35 million people by 2025 , drives a substantial and increasing demand for eggs. Despite this, local production currently meets less than 10% of the national poultry consumption needs. This creates a significant shortfall, leading to a heavy reliance on foreign imports and pushing up prices for consumers.
This market dynamic represents a clear and immediate opportunity for efficient, local producers like Eggcellent Farms to capture substantial market share and contribute to national food security.
Domestic Consumption
Ghana’s market has 90%+ egg import reliance. Invest in capturing this vast, guaranteed local demand for essential protein.
Soaring Prices
30-egg crate prices surged from £0.84–£1.16 to £3.23–£4.52, indicating severe supply pressure.
Import Dependency
Ghana consumes 31,000 MT of eggs annually, largely imported, costing more than £250 million annually.
Policy Support
Government initiatives actively back food security projects and local production, creating a favourable regulatory environment.

INTRODUCING EGGCELLENT FARMS
Our vision for Eggcellent Farms is brought to life through meticulous planning and advanced design. We are developing a modern, high-efficiency poultry facility that integrates cutting-edge technology for optimal production and sustainable operations.
OUR BUSINESS MODEL
EFFICIENCY, SCALE AND SUSTAINABILITY
Eggcellent Farms is designed for scalable, efficient, and ethical production. We leverage global best practices and technology to ensure optimal output and sustainable operations.
With our planned capacity, Eggcellent Farms aims to house an example of 200,000 hens, capable of yielding an estimated 50 million fresh, high-quality eggs annually. This scale of production could represent an illustrative annual revenue potential of GHS 50 million to GHS 60 million (figures are illustrative and based on generic market prices for bulk quantities of eggs in Ghana, like GH₵ 60-75 per crate, acknowledging actual prices vary).
Advanced Operations
We utilize high-performing ISA Brown chickens, globally recognized for their exceptional egg yield (e.g., capable of over 300-350 first-quality eggs per laying cycle) and efficient feed conversion.
Strategic Location
Our base in the Volta Region provides access to resources and markets, supported by improving infrastructure.
ESG FOCUSED
Government Support & ESG Alignment
The Ghanaian government actively supports the growth of the local poultry sector, creating a favorable investment climate
-
Pro-Local Policies
Initiatives like the "Feed Ghana" program (launched June 2025), championed by figures like Dr. Peter Boamah Otokunor, aim to train 20,000 young Ghanaians, create 1.7 million jobs, and establish/upgrade feedmills (Source: Graphic Online).
-
Incentives & Tariffs While subject to ongoing policy, the intent behind potential import tariffs and domestic incentives is to protect local producers and foster a competitive environment.
-
ESG Integration Our operations are inherently aligned with these governmental goals and broader ESG principles. By contributing to local production, we:
- Boost Local Employment: Creating stable jobs and economic empowerment in rural communities.
- Enhance Food Security: Directly addressing a critical national need.
- Promote Sustainability: Implementing efficient and responsible farming practices that respect the environment.
