President John Dramani Mahama stated that plans are underway for the construction of a 60-hectare irrigation facility.
The project forms part of efforts aimed at supporting year-round tomato production and addressing post-harvest losses in the sector.
President Mahama noted that the project will be complemented by storage and processing facilities to help stabilise supply and prevent seasonal gluts that often lead to significant losses for farmers.
He announced this while delivering the keynote address at this year’s Kwahu Business Forum on Saturday, April 4, 2026.
According to him, agriculture and agribusiness will be a top priority of his administration.
Mr Mahama posited that his administration will adopt a targeted approach by directing investments into selected areas to achieve measurable outcomes within a short period.
“We are going to select specific areas where government is going to intentionally mobilise investment. We will intentionally invest with both local resources and external ones so that we will get measurable outcomes within the shortest possible time,” he said.
