the domestic tomato processing plants have stopped production then india and other farmers are only able to sell to the so-called market queens dealers who resell the tomatoes in other cities there's an oversupply in the high season and so the prices drop to almost nothing was quite funny next 2 weeks ago we sold these crates for twice as much. if there's no demand like today and we farmers more or less just give the crates away. we sell them at any price. i might be honest. quantock financial difficulties led benedict as husband to go to europe where he works as a farm laborer in italy he's able to send money home every month to provide for his family and pay his children's tuition. many gun hands and other africans have ended up in southern italy the tomatoes that grow here are canned and mainly sold abroad including to ghana the men work for low wages few of them are working legally with
