Livestock Value Chain Intervention (LVI) endeavors to be a transformative force, aiming not only to bolster the livestock sector within Ghana but also to extend its impact throughout the broader African context. Through strategic leveraging of the diverse expertise and resources housed within Farming In Africa’s three subsidiary companies, the LVI program is designed to optimize production processes, streamline networks, enhance market competitiveness, and ensure the cultivation of high-quality livestock fit for both rearing and consumption.  This initiative will specifically target livestock farmers, aiming to enhance production efficiency, foster network synergies, bolster market competitiveness, and ensure the production of high-quality livestock for both rearing and consumption.

Central to the initiative is a steadfast commitment to empowering farmers with the necessary knowledge, resources, and financial support to facilitate sustainable and efficient livestock production and sales within Ghana, with an eye toward broader continental implications. By championing innovation and cultivating strategic partnerships, the program aspires to position Ghana’s livestock value chain as a formidable presence in both local and international markets. This vision encompasses the production of livestock and meat of unparalleled quality and affordability, thereby bolstering food security, fostering gender-inclusive economic growth, and uplifting the livelihoods of farmers and communities alike.

Moreover, the LVI program places a significant emphasis on environmentally sustainable farm practices, with a keen focus on climate protection and ecosystem preservation. This includes initiatives such as the breeding of exotic livestock species within the West African context, particularly in Ghana, as well as the promotion of self-sustainable livestock farming practices. This involves the cultivation and production of pasture and diverse forms of feed on-site, minimizing the reliance on external resources while mitigating environmental degradation.

In essence, LVI represents a holistic approach to catalyzing positive change within Ghana’s livestock sector, with far-reaching implications for both local prosperity and continental advancement. Through its multifaceted strategies and unwavering commitment to sustainability and inclusivity, the program seeks to not only enhance the competitiveness of Ghana’s livestock value chain but also to contribute meaningfully to broader socioeconomic development across the African continent.
