Ghanaian actor John Dumelo has suggested a way of solving most of the problems facing the Ghanaian economy.

The actor turned farmer took to his Twitter page to outline some of the agriculture practices that can help boost the economy.

He noted that most of the imports to Ghana were agro-based, adding that a vibrant Agric sector could supply Ghanaian factories with the raw materials needed to produce such products.

He posted: "Agriculture has the answer to most of Ghana’s problems. Most of our imports are agro-based. Imagine Ghana having large factories producing rice, meat products, tomato paste etc? There will be no need to import, we will export our surplus. It’s also important to note that these factories should be wholly Ghanaian owned. Change starts with us. Let’s start small in our own way to make agriculture great again!".

His comments come days after President Akufo-Addo attributed the depreciation of the cedi to Ghanaians tastes for foreign goods.

According to the President, if Ghanaians manufactured some of the many products they import and or patronised locally made goods, the local currency’s yearly depreciation will not occur.

John Dumelo owns a three-acre cassava farm in the Manya Krobo community in the Eastern Region.

He also owns other livestock farms across the country.
