Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has cut the sod for the construction of a GHc35 million watermelon processing factory in Walewale in the North East Region, under the "One-District, One-Factory" initiative.
The factory, upon completion by the end of 2020, would eliminate the yearly post-harvest losses by watermelon farmers, especially, in the Walewale enclave and its surrounding communities to improve the economic wellbeing of the people.
