Renowned Ghanaian reggae-dancehall artiste Shatta Wale says he is setting up a large-scale poultry farm as part of efforts to create jobs, particularly for his fans.
Speaking about the initiative on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, the musician, born Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jr., revealed that the project will involve between 50,000 and 100,000 birds once fully operational.
According to him, preparations for the poultry venture are already underway in Prampram, with additional land secured in Gomoa to support the expansion of the project.
“That’s what I’m working on now, the ‘Nkoko Nkitinkiti’. Yes, a poultry [farm],” he said in an interview on Ekosiisen on Wednesday, March 11. “I’m setting one up in Prampram, and A Plus has also recently given me, I think, 20 acres or 30 acres of land in Gomoa, so that is what we will be doing.”
The dancehall star explained that the idea has been on his mind for several years and reflects his personal interest in farming.
Beyond the business opportunity, Shatta Wale noted that the project could create employment opportunities for many of his supporters.
He said he hopes the poultry venture will allow him to employ a significant number of his fans while also contributing to Ghana’s growing interest in agriculture and local food production.
