I am glad to hear about the "Proudly Ghanaian" policy. I do hope it continues beyond Shoprite's one year of existence in Ghana...Emmanuel.K.Bensah IIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18425904642659360906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26927428.post-499009130048535952008-07-23T15:31:00.000+00:002008-07-23T15:31:00.000+00:00My name is Johann and I am the General Manager of ...My name is Johann and I am the General Manager of Shoprite in Ghana. I have seen your comments and understand your concerns. However, the chickens in question (and if you magnify the picture you will read it on the box) is from Assutuari Poultry Farm who is a registered Poultry Farm in Ghana and is currently Shoprite's main supplier of chicken. We also buy chicken from Darko Farms, another local producer. So unfortunately the information that was given to you was incorrect (that it is South African chicken). I can categorically state here that we do not fly one single chicken or chicken part in from SA. My Company has a very strong "proudly Ghanaian" policy in place and throughout the store you will find items we have sourced locally to stimulate local trade. Apart from that, we encourage local suppliers to develop new products and we promote them free of charge on high traffic areas in the store. If youare interested I will gladly share this detail with you if you want to know. I want to also use the opportunity to invite you to my office if there is anything else you want to discuss or contribute to the building up of the Ghanaian Economy <BR/>And the Ghanaian chicken does not taste bad, maybe we must put our money where our mouth is and support the local product instead of expensive imported itemsJohann Koegelenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12920952010515359538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26927428.post-55179545622802711252008-07-11T02:33:00.000+00:002008-07-11T02:33:00.000+00:00Interesting.PazInteresting.<BR/><BR/>PazAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26927428.post-9524745646427399522008-07-11T01:22:00.000+00:002008-07-11T01:22:00.000+00:00I bet that Ghanaian chickens taste a LOT better th...I bet that Ghanaian chickens taste a LOT better than imported South African chickens.
