Ghanaians react to the basin of tomatoes selling for Ghc40

Bismark Kusi commented:

I wish you should have bought some and take to the city. By the time it gets to the market centre, most of them will be spoilt. In business, normal lost is an expense so those that spoilt needs to be paid by the consumer . So adding transportation and other expenses, it needs to be sold at a hgh price.

Seth Ashitey suggested:

Please buy the tomatoes and go and sell it in Accra. Don't talk too much.

Godwin Ablordepey asked:

Why don't you ask them how much is transportation and loading fee from there to Accra?

From Alberta Korkor Abbey:

Will the tomatoes fly to Accra and Kumasi, do you even know how long it will take for it to get to it’s destination, again will it get there in its original form? Please let’s be rational in our judgement
