Heavy rains reason for decrease in price of tomatoes – John Dumelo

, Ghana Street Journal

John Dumelo, whose impressive résumé includes acting, politics, and farming, has shared on social media the reason behind the abundance of affordable fresh tomatoes.

He attributed the lower prices to the significant rainfall, making tomatoes more economical compared to other food items.

He shared this information following a revelation by the Minister of Agriculture that a box of tomatoes is currently priced at GHC 400-500.

Taking to X, John Dumelo wrote;

“The prices will continue to decrease. Many farmers are currently harvesting due to the rain providing a water source.

We will soon have an excess supply. It’s not complicated. What we need to invest in are robust irrigation systems that can sustain farms and provide food for the nation year-round. That’s when we will see price stability.” #

John Dumelo was in the news recently when he made a generous donation to the Security Department of the University of Ghana, Legon.

He announced that he had provided motorbikes and streetlights to enhance security measures on his X platform on Wednesday, May 29, 2023.

Dumelo, who is currently vying for the Ayawaso West Wuogon parliamentary seat against Lydia Alhassan of the NPP, expressed his optimism that this contribution would effectively address the issue of phone snatching and petty thefts on the Legon and UPSA campuses.

“Yesterday I presented 2 brand new Motorcycles and streetlights to the security department of the University of Ghana.” The actor cum Politician said.

“I hope this kind gesture will aid them to combat incidents of phone snatching and petty thefts on Legon and Upsa Campuses. The Students need to be protected.” He added.
