Harvest of Watermelon begins in Ghana with promising outlook

The harvest season of watermelon has gradually began in Ghana.
The main production area is Ada West District which is also known for tomato production and farmers are expecting a bumper harvest despite the effects of COVID-19 pandemic.
A favorable weather pattern and the decision of the government to invest in watermelon processing facility to reduce the amount of wastage caused by a lack of proper cold storage technology in production areas are some of the reason for increased production.
