Very stupid indeed. The Burkinabes themselves will find this difficult to understand. Is it laziness or what? Very shocking!!!
You people don't bother to read. We need Burkina tomato now while increasing our production in the medium term. The real question is why after 8 years of planting for food and jobs we are still importing tomato from Burkina? ...

@kwasi addo Writing nonsense as usual. You should be asking yourself why after 8 years of planting for food and jobs we are still importing tomato from Burkina.

Someone in Ghana one of these tomato ministers is benefitting from.importing tomatoes from.burkina thats why
You are happy bcos you can create your.own
This represents failure for Ghana - importing tomatoes from a country with much less rainfall and fertile lands than Ghana.
THIS IS VERY SHAMEFUL FOR GHANA TO IMPORT TOMATOES FROM BURKINA FASO. THE MINISTER OF TRADE IS VERY HAPPY ABOUT IT. VERY STUPID INDEED.
Ghanaian government have no shame ,
The Burkinabes were not doing the Ghanaians a favour by lifting the ban. Ghanaians were their sole ready market, ready cash. They just started feeling it, hence the reverse gear. I however expected the incompetent governing s ...

Meanwhile the Pwalugu Tomato factory has been sitting idle for years and years!!! God please reset our reasoning
Look how foolish they are,instead to produces their own, the preferences Is as usual"Already Sown"Already Made"by others but not by "Us to get More profit
Just look at the ladies wig, she's putting a burden on her brain. No wonder she cannot bring ideas to produce tomatoes in Ghana. We have square pegs in round holes. Why should this be a WELCOME news?

Planting for Food and Jobs was a big scam. 419. NPP chopped the money. Thieves
Arrest them. Prosecute them. Make them spew out the money you claim they stole. In the meantime the problem needs to be fixed.
firefoghters. Be proactive!!
Big achievement as they are quick to announce. Of what benefit is Burkina bringing tomatoes to Ghana. Next time don't announce this
3ny3 nea ehia ni!! Grow your own tomatoes. Lazy government. How can a country in a desert grow tomatoes foe you in a very fertile land? Pr3ko nketenkete, nkoko nketenkete government and stop the stealing. You thieves!
Where is kotokoli Bawumia hiding? Ooh I see the goat is washing his anus
Grow your own tomatoes,Madam Minister of Trade.
Grow your own sugar cane for the Komenda Sugar Factory to start operation.
What's wrong with our leaders? I can't think far.Tnx.
@Kofi...Ghanaian leaders are mad
Why jubilation on this? Import tomatoes from desert country?
Disgusting.
A kind of Minister

You are an ignorant fool and a keen idiot! There's no tomato rotting anywhere in Ghana as you read. And change your name. Use a name from your heritage. Or are you ashamed?
Efo Koku is not an Ayigbe man. He is an Akan licking the anus of ntafo Bawumia
Don't welcome it, and go back to sleep. Self reliance now.
Useless government... You want to jubilate over this, after having close door mediations.. what a shame, you couldn't take advantage to boost your own agriculture sector... Bunch of fools with no vision....
@ Pluto. Was your Akufo Monkey Addo able to do that? Pluto you are an idiot. Have you taken your bath today? Fool. Go to the market and see heaps of tomatoes. Kwasea you think you are wise
So what, grow your own.
Useless people in government!
All that you people know is propaganda.
This is opportunity to make an agribusiness policy but this brainless clueless government have missed it.
Thunder fire you!
As if your kwasea Akufo Monkey Addo was able to plant tomatoes. Women started going to Burkina is not today. Stop your silly jandam
We have so much water in Ghana. We should be growing our own tomatoes. Last year, i planted some in my house, harvested much more than i needed. Had to give to my neighbours. This time around I'm going to preserve it. All we ...

The question is why can't produce her tomatoes. Why do we have to rely on Burkina Faso.
The most “Dangerous People in Ghana Are the “TOMATOES “ queen sellers. They monopolise everything. Some of them were the causes of sudden Tomatoes imports from B/ Faso. I remember very well when one of these women were ...

And so what? This lady doesn't impress at all. Eiiih what a minister? This is a great opportunity for the youth to start their own Tomato business. Madam!!!
How long does it take to produce tomato?
Operation feed yourself and stop relying on landlocked Burkina Faso. What stops Ghana becoming a leading tomato hub. We had it in Kwame Nkrumah's regime
God save Ghana. Ghana can't produce tomatoes to feed ourselves but we can import SUVs, V8s. Are our brains filled with worms
I want to address Madam Ofosu Adjare on this issue. If a fry desert like Burkina Faso is able to turn things around and make tomato production a National pride. You are in Ghana bragging about Sika Koko, all natural res ...
