North East Region: GNECS trains 50 poultry industry players
The training was aimed at helping poultry industry players to acquire knowledge on how best to preserve the eggs for proper use
The Ghana National Egg Campaign Secretariat (GNECS) has begun a national egg training exercise in the North East Region to enlighten stakeholders in the poultry business about the benefits of egg consumption.
The training was aimed at helping poultry industry players to acquire knowledge on how best to preserve the eggs for proper use.
“The main purpose of this meeting is to sensitise those in the poultry industry, especially the egg sellers and the poultry farmers to the standards that the Ghana National Egg Authority has developed on edible eggs in shells,” the egg standards officer Samuel Kotia told Asaase News.
He advised consumers to avoid eggs that have cracks since they can be easily contaminated.
“A broken or leakage egg, for instance, is an egg, which easily gets contaminated so the people here were advised that in case they get a consignment of eggs and then there are a lot of bigger eggs or broken eggs in them, it is not advisable to sell or give them to indomie sellers,” he added.
The coordinator for the Ghana National Egg Campaign Secretariat, Comfort Kyerewa Acheampong said: “The training will also equip both the seller and the buyer, and the producer to not just spend money or waste money to produce wrong eggs.”
“Ghana can now sell our eggs across the board and also across the borders because we have the certification that our egg contains certain standards which match other standards,” she added.
A total of 50 participants were trained in the West Mamprusi Municipality of the North East Region to help the Ghana National Egg Campaign Secretariat spread the benefits of egg consumption to the general public.
