And they chose the NDC (unless it is proven by the SC that they stole the election) so Ghanaians deserve the leaders they have today.

Black African leaders are a curse on the continent. One hundred and fifty years from now when Malasia, India, and singappore, even Burma or Myamar have sent man to space Ghana and Africa will still have no water, electricity, hospitals, no road safety, no employment,no housing; they will still be shitting on the beaches of chokor and korle gonno and it is all because African political leaders are SCUM OF THE EARTH

These same farmers are unable to produce enough tomatoes to feed tomato processing factories that are set up at Wenchi and Pwalugu. What exactly do we want done?
They choose to sell to the market women for higher prices, but refuse to supply to processing factories at guaranteed prices. It's high time our 'commercial' farmers also begin to form cooperative societies to address some of these challenges. How do they identify the market before they go into production?

The farmer is working hard to grow the tomatoes and harvest it. Ghana has no good road access to the fields nor factories to absorb the good harvest, and therefore, the tomatoes rots in the bush.
The government lacks vision.

The rich men and women can invest alright,should one of them establish a tomatoes processing factory to turn these tomatoes into puree,whole and chopped tomatoes in cans or plastic containers will these people be accounted for properly? that is why it always falls on the government and i don't think something is being done to encourage the moneymen and women to invest localy.

If a VISIONEERING business man could site a processing plant within that visinity,I believe,he can really make it big.We import TOMATOE PASTE from CHINA,but ours are going rotten.THIS IS SAD.This is totally,lack of interpreneuring skills.Ghanaians lack job creating skills.We tend to follow what other peaples do but never think of doing something different.In life,one's significance is not in his similarity to another,but in his point of difference from another.It's not the same that cuts or yeild profit but the difference.We should invest in where others have not even explored before,to make it BIG.

Why are farmers are growing without the already market.Ashanti and his Denkyere dwarfs should be worrying their monkey faces about and not trying to go to the Flagstar House.Nana Addo,you don,t have to be the President to do good for your people. This what the politicians from these areas should be trying to find ready market for the farmers there.

Educate them about full scale farming and find avenues for them to sell their crops.They should be supplying to all the schools and institutions in that area.My brothers and sisters next time don,t vote for the Kyebi mafia dwarf.

Please let them go ahead and commit suicide if that is what will help them. What sort of mentality is this? If you are faced with a challenge you do not commit suicide to solve it.

We have to distinguish between business and public service. When businessmen make profit apart from taxes that the nation gets is it not the farmer that benefits?

We want to be free to do everything in this country but we always turn to government in the face of the least challenge. What business forecasts did these farmers do before deciding on the volumes of tomatoes to produce?

One of the farmers said that had it not been for another parcel of land on which he planted cassava, he would have been in more trouble. These farmers need to diversify their crops otherwise it will be a vicious circle. Don't put all the eggs in one basket. The farmers are committing suicide because of the huge loans from the banks. well, the banks will take over the lands and there is no inheritance for their children. Don't fail to plan as this is a sure recipe for disaster for generations to come. Farmers have been crying all these decades for feeder roads to transport their products to the places they are needed but the ministry of transportation seems not to be heeding the cry of the farmers.
