President John Dramani Mahama has announced plans to rehabilitate the Pwalugu tomato factory in the Upper East Region as part of the government's efforts to expand tomato production and agro-processing in the country.

We're going to rehabilitate the Pwalugu tomato factory so that we can process the tomatoes that Upper East is producing to feed the rest of the country,” he said.” President Mahama said the Upper East Region would receive a share of the planned $5 billion investment, which would include the expansion of irrigation infrastructure to enable farmers to produce throughout the year.
