The Akatsi South Municipal Assembly has distributed 9,595 poultry birds to 220 households as part of efforts to promote poultry farming, improve household incomes and strengthen food security in the municipality.
The initiative, implemented under the Nkoko Nkitinkiti programme, is expected to support beneficiaries in poultry production while creating opportunities for income generation and improved livelihoods.
In a related development, the Assembly reported distributing 1,500 bags of fertiliser to 134 farmer groups to support agricultural activities and improve crop production.
The interventions form part of broader efforts to strengthen local agriculture, support farmers and create economic opportunities for residents of Akatsi South.
The poultry distribution is expected to encourage more households to engage in small-scale poultry farming, potentially contributing to improved nutrition and economic resilience.
The initiative also highlights the importance of targeted agricultural support in promoting rural development and improving the livelihoods of farming communities across the Volta Region.
