Smock Weavers in the Bolgatanga Central market are complaining of poor patronage of smocks ahead of this year s Christmas festivities.
Speaking in an interview with the Ghana News Agency in Bolgatanga, Upper East Region, the Weavers attributed the situation to the outbreak of the Coronavirus disease.
Mr Michael Agurayine, a Smock Weaver, said the business was slow this season as compared to previous years.
He said smock weaving was a lucrative business and mostly thrived between the periods of November ending through to December.
Mr Agurayine said those periods were mostly considered their harvest season , however, the story this year was different.
