Determinants of Supply of Locally Processed Poultry Meat in Greater Accra Region of Ghana

The major constraints identified by farmers using Kendall's Coefficient of Concordance were high costs of inputs, low tariffs on imported meat, high borrowing costs, relative cheaper price of imported poultry meat and higher prices of locally processed meat. The degree of agreement of rankings by poultry producers was 42% using the Kendall's Coefficient of Concordance. In estimating the determinants of supply of locally produced processed poultry meat using OLS, the constraints: disease outbreaks, relative high price of locally processed poultry meat and high average cost of inputs were found to be significant at probability levels of p < 0.01, p < 0.05 and p < 0.1 respectively.
