I started my piggery farm three months ago at Aburi. Please, can you advice me on how to mix the feed to get a balanced diet.
I have assessed to about 50 acres of land near Winneba in the Central Region of Ghana. I am interested in any serious farmer or investor who wants to set up a commercial farm. The land is free for the initial 3 years on condition that at least 60% of labour comes from the community. any interested investor can contact me.
Thank you.
