What Agro Prime supplies to Agona Swedru farmers
- Day-old broiler chicks from the Cobb 500 and Ross 308 lines, for meat sales to households, food sellers and the local market.
- Day-old layer chicks, for a long-term egg business selling into the town and the farming communities around it.
- Point-of-lay pullets for keepers who want eggs in weeks rather than months, and who already have a house ready.
- Poultry feed at each stage, from chick starter through grower and finisher to layer feed, so birds stay on the right ration.
Why Agona Swedru is a good base for a poultry flock
Agona Swedru is the capital of the Agona West Municipal District in the Central Region. Its Wikipedia entry gives a population of about 68,000 in the 2013 figures and describes the town as popularly known for the planting and trading of plantain. That mix matters for a poultry buyer. Farming and trading households need a steady supply of protein, and a town of this size gives eggs and chicken a regular local outlet. A poultry flock can also sit alongside other farm enterprises and provide income at a different point in the season from crop sales.
Feed is the place where most of the money goes, so it is the first number to understand. The FAO describes feed as the most important variable cost in commercial poultry production, accounting for 65 to 70 percent of production costs in large-scale commercial systems. The chart below shows that range. Smaller flocks will not match those exact figures, but the lesson holds: the feed you buy, and how wisely you feed it, decides how well a flock pays.
Because feed is so large a share of cost, the practical steps are simple: buy the right feed for each age, avoid wastage, keep feeders and drinkers clean, and make sure the birds are healthy so they convert feed well. Our broiler feeding guide and layer feeding guide set out a feeding plan by age, and the FAO source is listed at the bottom of this page.
What a Swedru farm needs to budget for
Before you order, it helps to list the costs that will come up across the life of the flock. The table below sets out the main items and what each one means for your plan. It is a checklist to help you ask the right questions when you message us, not a price list.
| Cost item | Why it matters for a Swedru flock | What we help with |
|---|---|---|
| Day-old chicks or POL pullets | The bird is the starting point. POL pullets cost more per bird but skip the brooding period. | Breed advice, stock confirmation and a current quote. |
| Chick starter and grower feed | The first weeks set the growth curve, and feed is the largest running cost. | Feed supplied alongside the birds, and a plan for the stages to come. |
| Brooder, heat and litter | These are set up before arrival and often overlooked in the budget. | Our brooding guide and temperature chart. |
| Transport to Swedru | Depends on order size, the day you need the birds and road conditions. | Delivery arranged from Kasoa, confirmed on WhatsApp before you pay. |
| Vaccination and health | Healthy birds grow more evenly and waste less feed. | Our chicks are vaccinated; ask us for the schedule for your breed. |
If you are still choosing between chicks and pullets, our POL pullets versus day-old chicks comparison sets out the trade-off, and our best chicken breeds for Ghana guide compares meat and egg birds.

Delivery to Agona Swedru from Kasoa
Agro Prime is based in Kasoa. We do not have a branch in Swedru, so be careful with anyone offering to sell "Agro Prime Swedru" chicks or feed. Please order only through our WhatsApp number or the booking page. Because Swedru lies west of Kasoa, it is within a practical distance of the hatchery, but the exact arrangement depends on your order size, the day you need the birds and the road on that day. We do not publish a delivery price or time for Swedru on this page. When you message us, we confirm the delivery plan and any charge in writing before you pay, and you can also collect from the Kasoa hatchery if that suits you.
Day-old chicks can travel in their first days because they live off the yolk they absorbed before hatching. That is why hatcheries ship them so young, and why the box needs to stay warm, dry and ventilated. Our day-old chick delivery guide explains how transport works in more detail. If your farm is further out, our Winneba and Kasoa pages cover nearby routes.
Before your chicks arrive: a short readiness list
- A clean, draught-free house that you have checked and can keep at the right temperature.
- Dry litter, usually wood shavings. In the humid southern air, damp litter causes trouble quickly, so keep it dry and change it when it wets.
- Drinkers and feeders in place, with clean water and a little glucose for the first hours.
- Starter feed on hand on the day the chicks arrive.
Our guide to brooding day-old chicks sets out the routine, the brooder temperature chart gives the week-by-week temperatures, and how to choose healthy day-old chicks explains what to look for when the birds come off the truck.
Honest pricing guidance for Swedru buyers
We do not put fixed prices on this page, because chick, pullet and feed prices change with the breed, the season, the size of the order and the cost of feed. A price written today may be wrong when you read it, and we would rather give you an accurate quote than a figure that misleads you. What drives the cost is clear enough to plan around. Layers are the cheapest bird to buy but need months of brooding and feeding first. POL pullets cost more per bird but bring eggs in within weeks. Broilers are cheap to buy, but feed is the main running expense over the grow-out. So compare the total cost of getting a finished bird or an egg to market, not the price of one chick on its own.
For a current quote, send us your breed, quantity and location on WhatsApp (+233 24 915 1503), and we will reply with today's price for your order.
