  The neighboring countries thru France have introduced GMO variety crops and these seedless crops do not yield themselves therefore affect ones productive system and render one infertile.
  Journalists need to make this news available to Ghanaians to understand that seedless crops have their down side to fertility and as means to population control.

  We are not serious in Ghana, what are our crop research institutes doing.Burkina Faso and Ivory Coast are doing better than us, and we sit down claiming to be civilized. This account to hardships we find ourselves. Every thing in Ghana is about politics,if this were a political topic you will hear insults from both npp, ndc whiles food is cheap in these two countries, it's rather the opposite in Ghana.We all must admit for failing in this regard.

  In fact the government should do something about this tomato issue because we the farmers are suffering without gain. We will appreciate any effort to gain us some income.

  I'm not surprised at all. It's the Ghanaian way of life. Everything made in Ghana is not good so we look everywhere for foreign money to import the same things that we produce or manufacture here into the country and turn around and blame Govt. for unemployment, weak currency high interest rates, I mean everything. Anybody who is interested in learning how the Asians made it to where they're today should go to Amazon on the Internet and look for these two books: Asia Miracle Economies and Asian Tigers. The Asians made a lot of try and error but still their people patronized their goods. As long as we've taste for foreign goods, even if it's from Burkina or Ivory Coast, we'll remain in our current situation no matter which Party is in Govt. Thank you.
