Traders used to buy them from Ouagadougou, but because of its scarcity, they have resorted to now buy from Techiman. However, speaking to GhanaWeb, these traders explained that they prefer buying from Ouagadougou to buying from Techiman as the Techiman grown tomatoes are easily perishable. Both traders and consumers of tomatoes shared their frustrations with Ghanaweb's Upper East Regional Correspondent, Sarah Dubure. A tomato seller at the Bolgatanga market, madam Jennifer Ayiribire, lamented that the situation was very worrying. He noted that initially, he could use GHC5 worth of tomatoes twice, but now, he is not able to use even GHC10 worth of tomatoes twice.
