Ghanaian farmers respond to Market forces

The Globalisation Institute reports on adjustments being made by Ghanaian tomato farmers in the face of cheaper imports:

"The challenge,” says Kofi Ampah, a Ghanaian tomato producer facing competition from cheap imports, “is for our farmers to produce a high yield per acre so that we can sell them at a price to compete with imported tomatoes.” Kofi is apparently one of 500 farmers being trained in efficient techniques to produce good quality tomatoes. Since the DFID-funded project started, harvests have tripled and are still rising.
