Minister Lord Tu’ilakepa made the announcement in Parliament last week.
He said in order to feed these six million chickens, the ministry has to grow 500 acres of corn.
While the main objective of the project is to produce electricity from chicken manure, it will also reduce Tonga’s importation of frozen chicken for consumption.
Lord Tu’ilakepa also highlighted that Tongans consumed 302,000 kilos of imported chicken every week.
