Berekum and the goat taboo and how a quit order is affecting a GH¢5 million investment by Semanhyia Farms.

Semanhyia Farms and Farming in Africa, a prominent livestock breeding facility in Berekum Senase in the Bono Region, is facing an unexpected setback as the traditional leaders of Berekum have ordered a closure of the GH¢5 million investment, citing a breach of a taboo not to rear goats in the Berekum area._ Semanhyia Farms has been operating in the area for the past five years and in addition to other breeds, it has a large stock of goats as part of its farming project in the area. The farm owners have been given a two-week ultimatum to relocate all the goats outside of the Berekum area because of the taboo. Fredrick Benneh Frimpong, the founder and CEO of Semanhyia Farms in a video posted on social media, disclosed that the directive is as a  result a historic taboo against rearing live goats in the Berekum area.
