News reaching www.richkidempire.com is that On 16th of December2019, Dr. Bawumia cut sod for works to begin on the construction of a Watermelon Processing Factory at Walewale in the North East Region, as part of Government’s industrialisation drive agenda of ‘One District One Factory'.
This factory will virtually eliminate the yearly ritual of huge post-harvest losses in the Watermelon growing enclave of Walewale and its surrounding towns and villages, and help improve the lives of the citizens.
The factory is expected to create direct employment for between 300 and 400 people and provide a ready market season after season for between 2000 to 3000 peasant farmers.
The benefits of the factory to the local economy are enormous in terms of job creation and improving incomes of farmers, farmhands and drivers along the value chain.
