"Only if I had a fraction of Cecelia Dapaah's $1m, the importation of onions and tomatoes from Burkina and Niger would reduce by 10% in 2024 and 19% in 2025. I will invest heavily in irrigation and high-yielding seeds and make some good profits. So help me, God!'

John Dumelo received massive support from Ghanaians, with some promising to vote NDC into power if he would keep his word.

@benarsen1886 commented:

Suppose you can promise to totally cut the importation of onions, tomatoes, poultry and rice by 2028. In that case, I will lobby JM to make you agric minister and definitely canvas people to vote for you and the NDC. Sometimes I don't trust politicians, but you seem like a decent guy in Agric!

@JohnBeYaaka commented:

I think it won’t be bad for JM to make you the Agric Minister if he wins the 2024 elections, u can do the job!

@Kwasi_Abrantie commented:

Can you share the numbers behind this post? What amount( the fraction of the money) did you consider? How many acres can you put under irrigation, and what is the expected yield to cut it by 10% in 2024? How many tonnes do we eat in a year in Ghana?
