Even if irrigation is used to produce tomatoes, it is still a good advice for those who can, to grow their own vegetables. It is healthy and economical at the same time.

As ndc supporter, our ndc demons madness incompetent greedy judas politicians think Ghanaians are fools so they can do whatever they want. Ndc always comes to power to destroy Ghana economy all because they don't know how to govern a nation period. We Ghanaians have made big mistake to bring ndc party back to power. Ndc judas demons madness incompetent politicians always comes out to speak nonsense. Ghanaians have lands where is the money. Because of your foolishness causing Ghana economy hardship. When Npp was in power Ghanaians didn't have problems with food. We ndc supporters must stop our partisan politics against Npp government and focus on a party who can develop Ghana economy for Ghanaians period. Ndc have nothing good for Ghanaians.
Ndc politicians policies are lies, propaganda, sabotage, greediness, Selfishness, wickedness, stupidity, foolishness, loot and share partisan politics. Ghanaians let us bring Npp back to power again in 2028.God bless Npp government for their good governance for Ghanaians during their time.

Let see if Eric Opoku, the so-called "Agric Minister" has brain to come up with some mitigating factors to help bridge the impasse. If Burkina Faso, a desert-like nation can produce tomatoes, what about Ghana? It means our leaders are absolutely useless.
Another factor is our insatiable love for anything foreign. What is the difference between tomatoes that we produce in Ghana and those from Burkina Faso? What Burkina Faso did shouldn't have any effect on us but due to some stupidities, we are debating about it as if all the 33 million Ghanaians are all cripples, (excuse my language).

First many of the citizens need to be trained on how to simply grow not just tomatoes but other veggies such as peppers and onions. The greedy local chiefs, if they have any sense, can rent out plots of land to the locals instead of selling land to foreigners . And greedy landlords should stop restricting renters from growing these basic veggies in the yard. Cruelty is what keeps the black race hungry and poor.
