Hahahaha, say that again. Incredible nonsense paaaa. Sometimes I wonder where the NPP select or gather these kinds from.
They say that all it takes is 3 months to solve this emergency problem. So, why didn't they use the numerous 3-month periods they had in the 8 years of national retrogression under Akufo Addo and Bawumia? They don't consider that crucial things such as land acquisition, setting up of irrigation systems, land preparation, etc requires some time.
Yes, as a nation, we have failed woefully and shamefully in respect of tomato production. And the Burkina ban is an opportunity for us redeem ourselves. However, we are in a "tomato emergency" and we need tomatoes in our kitchens, while we find lasting solution to the problem.
Those enemies of Ghana, who are constantly praying to Satan for hardships on Ghanaians (to favour their parochial partisan interests) must be very disappointed at this new development.

The Burkinabes were not doing the Ghanaians a favour by lifting the ban. Ghanaians were their sole ready market, ready cash. They just started feeling it, hence the reverse gear. I however expected the incompetent governing system of this country to have called their bluff by discouraging Ghanaians from going there, a Jihadist insecure country, and instead, encouraging the development and support of our own.This dishonourable, incompetent minister is rather happy about it, announcing with glee and pride. "Honourable"Trade minister, has done her job very, very well. She's seen to trade link maintenance.

The most “Dangerous People in Ghana Are the “TOMATOES “ queen sellers. They monopolise everything. Some of them were the causes of sudden Tomatoes imports from B/ Faso. I remember very well when one of these women were blatantly suggesting that the Tomatoes from Burkina Faso were better. Simply because the Trucks were coming from Burkina to Tema Harbour empty and was cheaper to use those Trucks to transport the Tomatoes to Ghana than the internal transport from say Agogo to Accra.
