KIC collaborates with Premier Poultry to promote youth entrepreneurship

 Kosmos Innovation Center (KIC) continues to drive impact in the agricultural sector by empowering young people and smallholder farmers through strategic partnerships.

One such collaboration is with Premier Poultry Limited, a Kumasi-based agribusiness that works across the country to improve employment and nutrition through poultry farming.

Premier Poultry Limited is a trusted local partner of KIC, dedicated to creating sustainable income opportunities for young people.

The company specialises in brooding day-old chicks for six weeks before selling them to smallholder farmers for rearing.

This initiative not only provides young entrepreneurs with hands-on training in poultry management but also ensures that small-scale farmers have access to high-quality birds, leading to increased income and improved household nutrition.

By equipping young people with the necessary skills to engage in poultry farming, they are positioned to build sustainable businesses and boost local economies.

One of the beneficiaries, Abena Owusu, shared her experience, "Thanks to the support from KIC, its partners, and Premier Poultry, I have been able to start my own poultry business. I now have a steady income and can support my family better."

Speaking about the importance of the collaboration, Benjamin Gyan-Kesse, Executive Director for KIC highlighted the importance of poultry in driving agricultural growth in Ghana.

"By working with innovative businesses like Premier Poultry Limited, KIC continues to make a lasting impact on Ghana’s agricultural landscape, ensuring that young entrepreneurs and smallholder farmers have the resources and opportunities to thrive,” he said.

As KIC expands its reach, partnerships like this will remain crucial in fostering sustainable agribusiness development, reducing youth unemployment, and improving nutrition across communities.

The success of this initiative with Premier Poultry Limited is a testament to the power of collaboration in driving positive change in the agricultural sector.

Under similar collaborations, KIC is partnering with other local organisations to provide employment opportunities for many young people.

This is part of KIC’s implementation of the Initiative for Youth in Agricultural Transformation (IYAT) program in partnership with the Mastercard Foundation.

Under the IYAT program, KIC and the Mastercard Foundation seek to promote decent employment and dignified livelihoods for young people in the agricultural sector through innovation and entrepreneurship.
