A lady has accused Ghanaian actor, John Dumelo of marrying his wife to boost his farming business. Speaking in a recent interview, the woman claimed that men who are into farming often get married to dark skinned women to help with the farming business. According to her, farming was not made for light skinned women because of how delicate their skin tone is.
John Dumelo’s agriculture journey started in 2012. A decade later, he owns more than 2000 acres of farmlands scattered across Ghana, producing maize, rice, ginger, mushrooms, cabbage and rearing snails and livestock.
“Between 2012 and 2014 I travelled extensively around the country and found that millions of acres of arable lands lay fallow, but we were still importing food. This did not make sense to me and so I decided to get involved and I love it so far,” he says.
The story is not being told right and a lot of people give up along the way when things become challenging. You should master the art of agriculture because there is no business without risks. You need to start small, then you grow with it as [the] years go on because my own journey has also been challenging,” he says.
Like his major successes in agriculture he shares the stories of his challenges with his followers online, including an incident in his early years when he lost all his livestock to an estranged farm manager.
On social media, Dumelo goes through several messages he gets from interested young people, mentors a couple of them on their agricultural journeys and encourages other successful young farmers to do the same.
