Apah Joseph decided to travel to Libya after years of losing money on his tomato farm. He was told he might find work farming tomatoes in Italy – the same tinned tomatoes that had driven the prices of his local tomatoes down. But he never made it all the way. Apah is one of six migrant workers who told us about their experiences of migration for this series. An explanation of how we produced this interview can be found at the end.
Raphel Ahenu (BTS): Thank you for joining me today. Can you tell me a bit about yourself?
Apah Joseph: I’m 33 and I come from Tuabodom, a town in eastern Ghana. I have a wife and two sons.
