Nabdam farmers lament drop in prices of vegetables

Prices of vegetables at some major markets in the Nabdam District of the Upper East Region have witnessed a significant drop within one month.

A market survey conducted by the Ghana News Agency at the Zanlerigu, Pelungu, and Kongo markets in the district revealed that prices of vegetables such as tomatoes, pepper, and okra had reduced drastically.

Farmers of these commodities, who expressed worry about making losses, attributed the trend to an increasing supply of vegetables from farmers and other dealers.

For instance, a bucket of tomatoes, which was sold between GH¢120 and GH¢150 at the beginning of September, is now available for GH¢45 to GH¢70.

Similarly, a basin of tomatoes, which was sold between GH¢250 and GH¢300 now goes for GH₵100.00 and GH¢150.
