  TEPCO is expected to produce 40 tonnes of processed fresh tomato as well as water-melon and mango into puree a day -- a move which if successful would eliminate the yearly phenomenon of post-harvest losses that has crippled farmers in the BrongAhafo Region and beyond.
  
  VERY GOOD. TOMATO PASTE, KETCHUP, SUN DRIED TOMATOES...ALL FOR EXPORT N LOCAL CONSUMPTION....WHY IMPORT TOMATOES FROM OUTSIDE? AA, GYAN, AGYEMANG BADU ARE ALL FROM BA. CANT THEY BUY OR INVEST IN THIS BUSINESS?

  This is an excellent initiative with potential for becoming a large export-oriented business.
  
  We ask that no effort be spared in making it a viable business. It would help to organise the vegetable farmers into co-operatives and let them buy shares in the company. They would then be keen to ensure that the company operates profitably as they stand to benefit doubly from sales to the company and their shares.
  
  This is the kind of initiative we should encourage to foster economic development and create jobs.

  Is the plant currently working? THEN Atebubu is another area you can count on when it comes to land enquiry for increase productivity. FARMER ARE ALSO READY INCREASE PRODUCE MORE RAW MATERIALS.
