FarmMate Ghana Tomato Critical Intervention
The Nation's Food Basket: Ghana self-sufficient in tomatoes by July 2027.
FarmMate Ltd, Ghana's designated official off-taker and technical operator for the National Vegetable Development Project, leads the Ghana Tomato Critical Intervention: a public-private partnership with the Government of Ghana to end the tomato import dependency by July 2027. Lean-season production is raised through a nationwide, enhancement-driven out-grower scheme, while the rain-fed surplus is processed into 100% tomato puree at the Legon and Pwalugu factories and released through the off-season. OXiAgro supplies the farm register, contracts, payments and lender visibility; DeepLeaf protects the yields.
80+ growing areas; 40,000 acres in 2026 toward a 100,000-acre lean-season target, under an enhancement-driven scheme with private-sector partners.
10 tonnes an hour of 100% tomato puree for off-season supply.
10 tonnes an hour by December 2027; with Legon, 480 tonnes a day at 24-hour operation.
20 production zones with packhouses, cold storage, farmers' markets, bulk distribution and logistics.
20,000 acres across the White Volta, Black Volta, Lake Volta and borehole and river corridors, for year-round production.
A 300,000 to 500,000 applicant pipeline; 3,000 trained as extension agents and direct producers in the land banks.
Crop checks across every cluster, protecting the yields the programme is financed on.
