The Daily Graphic welcomes the commissioning of a new tomato factory in Tema saying it is a relief for the country's economy considering the huge sums used to import the commodity among others. The Paper commends the fact that Conserveria Africana Group, which established the factory, also plans to develop a sustainable raw material base by procuring from Ghanaian farmers in the next two years. The Graphic looks forward to the sustained operations of the plant and hopes that many more will be encouraged to set up factories in the country to make local production more meaningful. 

The Ghanaians Times adds its voice to appeals to striking health workers to consider the plight of suffering patients and return to work. The Paper believes in time of such crises, it is the poor who suffer most since they don't have the means to seek medical attention at the private hospitals and clinics because of the high cost involved. It says the actions of the health workers could lead to loss of precious lives which cannot be replaced. The Times says the strikes are becoming too many in the country, and there is the need to address them holistically.
