Bakaida disclosed that pork meat was used to produce confectioneries such as gala, some biscuits and other snacks.

His words:

"In 2016, I ventured into pig farming with about nine pigs which I bought around GH₵2k. At that time, I didn't have a structure to keep the pigs, so I kept them in an uncompleted building. That was how I continued to nurture them until they became what they are today. I have over 1000 pigs in my farm worth nearly a million cedis."
