Akomadan (Ash), July 9, Mr Kwaku Minka Fordjour, Acting Offinso District Agricultural Coordinator, has denied that there was a tomato glut in the Akomadan area due to over-production and limited marketing opportunities. Mr Fordjour explained that due to floods in parts of Accra following torrential rains, drivers refused to cart the tomatoes to the nation's capital which is the main marketing centre for the produce. This resulted in an accumulation of tomatoes in the Akomadan area. He said during the period of the accumulation, the price of tomatoes fell from 80,000 cedis per crate of 52 kilos to 15,000 cedis. "But wiith the floods now over, the situation has almost normalised with the price shooting up to between 50,000 and 60,000 cedis,'' he added. Mr Fordjour expressed concern that the heavy rains this year could cause post-harvest losses of farm produce including tomatoes.
