Oh which initiative was that?

These things have being happening long before you were born.
Nigeria lacking storage or proccesing facilities for farm produce .. That's why you have a season for different food in Nigeria which suppose not to be so. A well proccesed or preserved food should last all year round without having a season where it becomes scarce of too much that it goes to waste like this.

And for the record.. You are nothing but hypocrite ..
Innoson became popular under buhari, it was Jonathan policy.
Tomato excess in kastina, it was Jonathan. Tsa, jonathan's policy. Kachickwu, jonathans policy. Anything positive, Jonathan policy which were not seen.
[s]But when book haram throws bomb tommorow, you start shouting buhari. Not Jonathan, when naira falls again tommorow, you start shouting buhari but not Jonathan's policy.

This is the worse problem currently facing agriculture in the country: lack of preservative measures! This same quantity that sells for N300 will sell at N12,000 in the next 3 months when the rain starts. Isnt there a way to preserve the vegetable and make it available all round the year? Also read somewhere that 70% of those fruits and vegetables get spoilt before they are moved from the farms to the final consumer.

If only PHCN can assure us of at least 15hrs of light daily, wont mind processing one full basket and store in freezers awaiting the rainy season.

Oh, i forgot to mention, I love fresh tomato stew!

or better still turn them in paste and can them in millions of tins.
Oh, my Nigeria, when will we wake up industrally with sound initiatives?
Are we all waiting on dangote? Were are my rich south east n south south broda?
Can't any wise polithief-cian take advantage of this?

Is that so?!

No wonder, I've been enjoying tomato rich stew for quite sometime now.

Sorry for the farmers, though.

I guess we need serious agricultural products preservation programme in this country because a lot of tomatoes are going to wasted as a result of this superfluous supply of the product.

Re: Tomato Glut Hits Katsina Markets As Price Drop To N300 From N5, 000 Per Basket by Sunnycliff(m): 2:30pm On Feb 17, 2016

The cobweb theory will apply next season as most farmers will reduce production because of another anticipated glut next season thereby least to another scarcity which will intirn stimulate more production in the subsequent year. A problem characteristic of developing nation with no vision for infra structural and mechanized capacity building and agro processing. We still have a long way to go. But our leaders are just myopic

One of the reasons countries like Nigeria would continue to be called 3rd of simple invention on how to preserve agricultural produce can not be manufactured.
Even if it is sold for #20 there na like 15k dem go still sell am for S.W. Investing in Agriculture goes beyond planting and harvest, preservation is also involved.
We still don't have that foresight yet in this country.

This is why governors of those states should build storage facilities for them and even get customers outside the country for export. How I wish I am rich enough I will go there build the storage facilities and be charging people for storage. Big business.

Usual black man's syndrome no foresight; they will rather allocate billions for official cars for the presidency and the parliament while the state governors do owembe with state funds. Lord Lugard I hail thee.
