The Real Reason Why Tomato Is Expensive And Scarce by sparrowkid: 1:21pm On May 18, 2016 |
NTA ran a programme on this issue some weeks back, but we hardly paid attention. Hope the concerned authorities would do the needful. The Dangote Farms Tomato Processing Factory announced that it has halted operations in its $20 million tomato paste facility due to a scarcity of tomatoes, barely two months after beginning operations. This announcement comes as a surprise to many that believed Dangote was the reason for the tomatoes shortage plaguing Nigeria. The tomato plant was anticipated to help reduce wastage of the fruit in the country and to also minimise the amount of imported tomato pastes in the Nigerian market. According to Nigeria’s Ministry of Agriculture, Nigeria produces about 1.5 million tons of tomatoes a year, but over 900,000 tons is lost to rot.http://venturesafrica.com/this-is-the-real-reason-why-you-are-paying-more-for-tomatoes-in-nigeria/ Sorry mod, I posted it here because some disgruntled members of the public have turned this to a political issue 4 Likes 1 Share |

I don't know why Nigerian govt love spending recklessly. If dangote can set up tomatoe paste facilities with just 20million dollars, and FG spends 1.5 billion dollars on importation of same product. Then that minister and the entire staff of the ministry should be curse. Spit 2 Likes |
