They also requested the establishment of factories to process tomatoes, since Ziope is one of the major tomato-growing areas in the Volta Region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Hon. Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, thanked the delegation for their visit and assured them that their concerns have been duly noted. He further indicated VRCC\u2019s readiness to provide the necessary linkages to support farmers and attract investment into the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>VRCC remains committed to strengthening agriculture and creating opportunities for farmers across the Region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
