Tomato farmers in the Wa Municipality are counting their losses after several crates of produce running into thousands of Ghana-cedis went bad.
The farmers are unable to get buyers for their produce due to a tomato glut in the region this year.
Speaking to GBC’s Radio Ghana at Wa, an official of the Wa Municipal Department of Agriculture, Ismail Saeed said during a routine visit to Piisi, a team of Agricultural Extension Officers found large quantities of rotten tomatoes on farms, refuse collection points and the markets.
The farmers told the team that they had to leave the tomatoes to rot because they could not get buyers for their produce.
