"Government cannot achieve it alone" because the political will is on galamsey. Without political will, there's nothing government can achieve. Ibrahim Traore is achieving so much at an unimaginable speed due to strong political will. Do you see how your selfish president has opened our borders for all manner of criminals to enter because he wants to be AU chairman? The Interior Minister is also capitalising on it to pursue isslamisation agenda. That is where your political will is and that is how you guys will fall.

Where are the tomatoes John Dumelo promised us in February 2026? It doesn't take more than 8weeks to grow tomatoes. I bought 2 small sized tomatoes during the weekend @ GHC10 (US$1).Expensive than in Europe

All talk. Nothing will come to fruition. Onions and tomatoes s3f we no dey see top. The massive corrupt practices around rice imports due to the volumes, makes it more lucrative than growing locally.

So address the high cost of doing business here including agribusiness, then maybe it will be interesting and lucrative.

thailand and chine etc invested heavily in national irrigation projects for farming on the large scale.

Try any irrigation project here and the people will turn it into a floating garbage duct.

So our habits inhibit large scale anything especially the didi wadeuma ho mantra which is just plain theft
