Dumelo has been involved in serious agricultural activities in the past few years, reaping loads of farm produce which he has taken to his social media channels to showcase and pique the interest of other young Ghanaians to emulate him.
This year alone, he has made a lot of fortune from maize, yam ginger, cabbage, and rice farming. He invests in the cultivation of crops in the rural parts of the country such as the Oti and Northern regions and then transports the produce to the marketplaces in the urban centres for sale.
