As his Twitter name suggests, John Dumelo is on a serious mission to making farming cool and profitable to encourage more Ghanaian youth to venture into the sector.
The actor was one of the distinguished personalities who were invited to attend the 2022 edition of the International Agricultural and Gardening Machinery Exhibition (EIMA) which was held in the city of Bologna from the 9th to the 13th of November 2022.
According to EIMA’s official website the exhibition recorded 185,000 visitors in its first 3 days, making it one of the world’s biggest events for agribusiness.
Following his failed bid to become the member of parliament for Ayawaso West Wuagon, in the Greater Accra Region during the 2020 elections, John Dumelo, has been promoting his agribusiness, Melo Farms.
In July 2021, he shared pictures from his farms on social media, showing several bags of ginger harvested for the season.
Aside ginger, Dumelo is into animal husbandry. He also deals in other farm produce such as cabbage mushroom and most recently, yam.
His company, manufactures locally-made ginger paste under the brand name, Melo Foods.
