Ghana FSRP–FarmMate Partnership to Deliver 6,000 Tons of Tomatoes
Available in
A collaborative initiative between the West Africa Food System Resilience Project (FSRP) and agri-tech provider FarmMate is targeting a major tomato output surge in Ghana.
The programme, covering 200 acres across multiple regions, aims to produce up to 15 tonnes per hectare and reach a total of 6,000 metric tonnes of tomatoes by the end of 2025. The intervention deploys improved seeds, irrigation management, and digital agronomy support to over 1,500 farmers, with women constituting roughly 40 % of participants. Implemented under the umbrella of ECOWAS and funded by the World Bank, the FSRP is designed to bolster food system resilience, strengthen regional value chains, and reduce dependence on imported horticultural products. This targeted production drive could reshape tomato supply dynamics in West African markets this year.
