Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the Vice President and Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has promised to construct a tomato processing factory at Akomadan in the Offinso North constituency of the Ashanti Region, under his presidency.
The plan forms part of his government's industrialisation agenda to create jobs for the teeming youth in the country.
Dr Bawumia made the pledge during a stakeholders' durbar at Akomadan in the Offinso North constituency of the Ashanti Region, on Tuesday.
On agriculture modernisation, the NPP Flagbearer said his administration would set up District Agriculture Mechanisation Centres in agricultural districts to provide equipment such as tractors, harvesters and ploughing machines to farmers to expand their farms.
