Vice President and NPP flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has promised the establishment of a tomato processing factory to boost the local economy of the Offinso North Constituency. Addressing a charged crowd in the capital Akomadan, a town historically known for its abundant and high-quality tomato production, Dr. Bawumia recognized the challenges farmers face, particularly the lack of market access and post-harvest losses.
Akomadan’s tomato industry, once a thriving agricultural hub supplying tomatoes across the country and beyond, has suffered due to limited processing and storage facilities. To address these issues, Dr. Bawumia assured residents that his government would set up a tomato processing factory in the area if he is elected President. “For Offinso North I want to assure you that I will establish a tomato factory to support the local economy”, he announced.
“We will continue the good works we have been doing in the cocoa sector. The DRIP project is ongoing in the various districts where roads are being constructed. I will also introduce the District Agriculture Mechanization Center where I will distribute farming implements in the districts including”, Bawumia noted.
He appealed to the electorate to vote for him to become the next president of Ghana and all the NPP parliamentary candidates across the country to enable them to continue the transformative agenda of the government.
