Greenhouse Farming: The Solution to Ghana’s $100M+ Tomato Problem

Greenhouse Farming: The Solution to Ghana’s $100M+ Tomato Problem
Ghana has a problem, she spends over $100 Million each year importing tomatoes to feed her citizenry.
This problem is not unique to just tomatoes, it applies to several of the other fruits and vegetables the country consumes daily.
Techselta has a solution that will not only solve the nation’s tomato problem but can also be used as a brilliant import substitution drive to get more young people to participate in greenhouse farming.
In this episode, Paul Aseidu, one of the co-founders of Techshelta, walks us through the basics of:
1. Operating a greenhouse farm
2. Ways to manage a greenhouse farm as a business
3. Opportunities for newbies in the greenhouse space
4. General supply chain gaps that young people with little money can take advantage of to start their journey as entrepreneurs within the greenhouse farming value chain.
Techselta is an agriculture technology company that builds and manages greenhouse farms, provides efficient and cost-effective online advisory, automation, and market linkage services to greenhouse farmers, aggregators, and consumers. You can learn more about them at www.techshelta.com and follow them on social media @techshelta.

How to grow green & red pepper

[@wolfgangmeyer4889]

I grow 20-30 tomatoes a year for my own use. I grow them from seed to finished plant. I wonder if I could plant an apple tree next to the tomatoes. My friends in Accra wrote that there are no apples there? Would it be possible to grow them there?
